With today’s second artist announcement release, Groundwater Country Music Festival (CMF) is gearing up for a long weekend escape of mega proportions for country music fans on the Gold Coast. Boasting an impressive lineup of beloved international and national country music artists, 2022 is shaping up as a not-to-miss festival.

All roads lead to Groundwater CMF! Now based in Nashville, sensational country-pop duo Seaforth returns to native soil for Groundwater CMF in their first show back home and their only Queensland performance.

Joining Seaforth on their voyage from the US will be the chart-topping Aussies Kristy Cox and Dozzi. Beyond these wonderful homecomings, be prepared to be staggered by the exceptional talent we now have confirmed to complete the already impressive lineup. Big names like Andrew Farriss, and New Zealand favourite Tami Neilson who is back for her only Australian performance this year, in addition to Andrew Swift, Jayne Denham, and The Viper Creek Band will be augmenting an already amazing bill!

Groundwater CMF prides itself in its unwavering ethos to support and nurture emerging talent and is proud to be featuring 2022 Star Maker winner Max Jackson in the lineup. In fact, Max will be joining an incredible alumni of previous Star Maker winners: Travis Collins, Kirsty Lee Akers, and Kaylee Bell. Plus of course, last year’s inaugural KIX start winner Bella Mackenzie. There really is just so much to love about Groundwater CMF and the opportunities it provides emerging talent throughout Australia.

Groundwater CMF Festival Director Mark Duckworth said: “We’re stoked to be able to add some extraordinary international talent to our 2022 Groundwater CMF programme and welcome home some of our own homegrown stars as well.” 

“I can’t wait to kick back and enjoy some incredible live music and to share it all with our loyal festival fans on the beautiful Gold Coast.” 

As if it could get any better, following on from the cracking first lineup announcement, which included Country icons Fanny Lumsden, Travis Collins and Catherine Britt, Groundwater CMF is thrilled to reveal an equally spectacular second lineup.
