Country music festival Dashville Skyline has revealed part of a massive lineup for it’s 11th edition.
Headlined by Sydney-based band The Cruel Sea, Dashville Skyline is promising a collection of Aussie and international artists at the Dashville bushland venue in the Hunter Valley between October 3rd-5th,
Among the announced international acts are US-born Nikki Lane and Her Band, Cordovas, Vincent Neil Emerson, Laidback Country Picker, and Swimming Bell.
Local acts such as Fremantle-based singer-songwriter Mama Kin, Tasmania’s Claire Anne Taylor, and ARIA award-winner Fanny Lumsden round out the first round of artists you can check out below.
The same day as the announcement, Lumsden released a cover of Gotye’s iconic song “Somebody That I Used to Know”.
It’s her first new music since her 2023 album Hey Dawn and came after performing the song on ABC’s Spicks and Specks last year.
“We started adding it to our live show, and have loved playing around with it so much that we thought it about time we recorded it! It’s the first song that has my whole live touring band on it, and it makes me so happy that each of these people I spend so much time with on the road, brought a little of themselves to the song,” she said.
