Last December, the Gympie Music Muster announced its first round of artists for the 2025 event, set to take place from 28–31 August 2025 in the picturesque Amamoor Creek State Forest.

Building on this excitement, the Muster has now revealed the full line-up for the Boss Hire Blues Bar, promising a showcase of blues legends, Australian icons, and emerging stars.

Notable performers include Ash Grunwald, Emma Donovan, Bondi Cigars, Karise Eden, 19-Twenty, and Lloyd Spiegel.

The line-up highlights the diversity and depth of the blues genre while offering something for seasoned fans and newcomers alike.

The Boss Hire Blues Bar has become a cornerstone of the Gympie Music Muster, spotlighting the best of Australian blues and fostering a love for this rich and dynamic genre.

The inclusion of artists like Emma Donovan, making her Muster debut, and Lloyd Spiegel, returning for the fifth time, showcases the event’s ability to blend fresh talent with veteran performers.

As Emma Donovan shared, “I’ve never played at Gympie Muster, but I have heard of it for years, especially with connections to the Tamworth Country Music Festival. I’m excited to play my music and share my story to many at Gympie and always in Queensland.”

Lloyd Spiegel added, “I love playing the Blues stage at Gympie. The merging of country, blues, folk, rock and a whole bunch of styles in between showcases the wonderful melting pot that makes Australian music so special.”

The Gympie Music Muster brings significant economic and cultural benefits to the region, drawing thousands of attendees and providing a platform for local and national artists.

Program Director Bec Anderson emphasised, “The Boss Hire Blues Bar is where each artist brings a different voice and story to the stage, and we’ve worked hard to ensure the line-up offers an unbeatable mix of talent.”
