Saddle up Heartbreakers, the wait is nearly over! Ridin’ Hearts Festival 2025 is riding in with new activations, a new stage and country’s hottest acts!
Country superstar and our Ridin’ Hearts headliner, Megan Moroney (USA), makes her highly-anticipated return to Australia – from a recent surprise pop up performance with Ed Sheeran, to announcing a live version of her Gold-certified, 2024 album, Am I Okay?, Aussie country fans are eagerly awaiting the return of the emo cowgirl. Joining Moroney is an all-star lineup of international acts including, Nate Smith (USA), Avery Anna (USA), Waylon Wyatt (USA), Blake Whiten (USA), Karley Scott-Collins (USA) and countrified DJ sets from Brandi Cyrus (USA), as well as local powerhouses Lane Pittman, Sara Berki and Lewis Love. With all-day tunes, cold drinks and good times from sunrise to sundown, this year’s festival delivers non-stop entertainment both on and off the stage.
The Lone Spur Stage is back and upgraded thanks to our mates at Ringers Western. This year’s stage will host a full day of entertainment, from line dancing to live sets from rising stars Briana Dinsdale and Riley Ziskey. It will also see Ruby Jane, winner of the Ridin’ Starts talent search competition, make her festival debut, thanks to APRA AMCOS. Crowd favourites Queens Country will lead festival-goers through the ultimate line-dancing lessons and freestyle sessions. So grab your hat, stretch those legs, and get ready to burn up the dance floor.

My nickname is “The Amnplifier”. Why? Because around here my focus is on being a conduit for providing greater outcomes that people come here for. My day to day “work” is living in the moment, and I love helping others concentrate on finding their connection to themselves through their experiences.
Why start a music environment? The truth is I love music, I love writing, and I love life. I work with musicians every day, and I feel certain that I will be until they put me in the ground. I have been managing people in businesses of some sort for over thirty five years so along the way I have developed some “wisdom” from my regular and constant “observations”.
Amnplify your experience. That is what we want you to do here, and if you want to let me know why you do, or don’t, shoot me a message on Facebook.
Hope you enjoy yourself here and find something that hits you somewhere.
