**The multi-award-winning Riverboats Music Festival is back from February 13–15, 2026, descending on the banks of the Murray River, on Yorta Yorta country in Echuca-Moama with its biggest line-up yet. **

For three days under the towering river red gums, Riverboats 2026 will bring together an incredible mix of talent, community and good times.

Friday sets the tone with the alt-folk sounds of **Norwood**, Brisbane’s psych-rockers **Full Flower Moon Band**, and a huge headline set from **Baker Boy** – described by The Guardian as “*the kind of rapper who can get a crowd airborne within seconds*.”

Saturday is stacked from start to finish: local duo **The Wildlings** open the day, followed by **Queenie**, **Felicity Urquhart & Josh Cunningham**, the **Andrew Gurruwiwi Band **(all the way from N.E. Arnhem Land!), the new all-star project **Bleak Squad** (featuring **Mick Harvey, Mick Turner & Adalita**), the powerhouse soul of **Emma Donovan** performing *Take Me To The River* (a tribute to the soul icons of the last century), and the all-commanding **Cash Savage & The Last Drinks**. All this leading into a massive headline performance from one of the best live bands this country has ever produced, **The Living End**.

Sunday closes the festival with** Daisy Kilbourne**, a spaghetti-western inspired project **The Counterfeit ft. Freya Josephine Hollick**, indie-pop fav **Merpire**,** Paul Dempsey**’s super fun *Shotgun Karaoke*, and a stunning finale from roots icon,** Xavier Rudd**.

Beloved MC **Brian Nankervis** (RocKwiz) will keep the whole show flowing with his trademark games, banter and wit.

And of course, the festival’s legendary paddlesteamer sideshows aboard the **PS Pevensey** return in 2026, offering intimate one-hour performances while cruising down the mighty Murray – a must-do Riverboats tradition that always sells out, so get in quick.

With its single stage, relaxed riverside atmosphere and setting just two and a half hours from Melbourne, Riverboats has grown into one of Australia’s most beloved festivals. Accommodation across Echuca-Moama books out quickly, so plan ahead now to make sure you don’t miss a weekend that’s shaping up to be the best Riverboats yet.
