Saddle up, Heartbreakers!  Brush off your hats because your ultimate country music escape in the city is returning this October!

Ridin’ Hearts Festival is rolling back into Sydney on Saturday 25 October & Melbourne on Sunday 26 October, 2025 – and its third year is shaping up to be the best year yet.

From the creators of CMC Rocks QLD, Ridin’ Hearts has become the go-to destination for country lovers and the country-curious alike. With past line-ups featuring Riley Green, Bailey Zimmerman, Cooper Alan, Sam Barber and more, 2025 is set to be pretty next level.

Get ready for chart-topping country stars and rising talent, bars, delicious eats, lots of snacks, fab fashion and market stalls. Add some sparkle at the festival’s very own Sparkle Station, sip on the signature Ride ‘Em Gambler cocktail at the Bulldust Bar and upgrade your experience with the exclusive Diamond Club - because Ridin’ Hearts is all about creating those moments you’ll be talking about long after the music stops.

The Ridin’ Starts Initiative will also return for 2025, giving local emerging artists a once-in-a-lifetime festival debut and advice from industry insiders.

“Ridin' Hearts is not just an event; it's a heartfelt celebration that leaves attendees eagerly anticipating what’s next. If proof were needed that country music is alive and well, look no further than Ridin' Hearts, where faces of all ages were lit up with smiles” – CountryTown

Country music is taking over, and Ridin’ Hearts is leading the charge. Save the date, grab your boots, and get ready for an unforgettable ride.
