A new inclusion to the Muster’s offerings this year, the concert will be held on the Thursday night before the Muster festival site officially swings into operation on Friday, October 2.
A separate ticketed event to the Muster, it’s being hosted in a new seated entertainment venue, The Grand Pavilion.
Ticket holders will enjoy an Ultimate Superstars of Country tribute show - featuring musicians who emulate Chris Stapleton, Luke Combs and Morgan Wallen - and will have access to food trucks and a licensed bar.
From every ticket sold, $5 is being donated to the Deni High School P&C to help with recovery efforts after a deliberately lit fire destroyed a large portion of the school in November.
The sell-out is also a reminder to get your tickets for the big event! It was a sell-out last year, and the festival gains additional interest each year.

Free movie today
The Deni Film Society is hosting a special day time screening today, and this time it’s free to everyone.
On the big screen will be Alec Morgan's beautiful documentary Ablaze.
It is a feature documentary about opera singer Tiriki Onus, who finds a 70-year-old silent film believed to be made by his grandfather, Aboriginal leader and filmmaker Bill Onus.
As Tiriki travels across the continent and pieces together clues to the film’s origins, he discovers more about Bill, his fight for Aboriginal rights and the price he paid for speaking out.
“This community screening is free to attend, and everyone is welcome,” Deni Film Society said.
“Bring friends and family and learn about Bill Onus's powerful story.”
The screening will be held at the Deniliquin Town Hall, today from 11am.
Free puppet show
Parents and carers of little ones, mark your diaries; a free puppet show is coming to Deniliquin on October 17.
Based on the tale of Pinocchio, Trinket the Robot is a lively, funny, interactive solo show by Little Wing Puppets that explores emotions and offers ways for children to understand different feelings.
Complementing the puppet show will be a Puppetry of Paper Workshop. Workshop numbers are limited, so book in early.
The program is recommended for ages 3-10 years, and is free thanks to the NSW Government’s Create NSW.
