KEITH Urban will headline this year’s Deni Ute Muster.

The country superstar will head to Deniliquin on September 30, two months ahead of returning to Australia to conduct his own national tour in December.

Urban releases his ninth album, Ripcord, on Friday.

This year’s Ute Muster will also feature James Reyne, Adam Brand and The Outlaws

John Williamson, Troy Cassar-Daley, Shannon Noll, Busby Marou, Catherine Britt and more.

The event will run over September 30 and October 1 and attracts over 18,000 patrons.

This year is the 18th Deni Ute Muster.

General Manager Kate Pitt said Urban was the act most punters had requested to headline the event.

“Keith Urban as our headline artist for our 18th Muster is a wish come true,” Pitt said. “We really wanted to pull out all stops and come up with a dream line up that our fans would love and we know we’ve delivered an awesome 18th birthday present.”

It’s also the first Deni Ute Muster for Shannon Noll, who has had something of a career rebirth this year not due to new music, but finding himself the subject of a series of affectionate memes.

Noll is part of SBS’s Australian Eurovision judging panel.
