Quarter pipes and a brand-new vert ramp with spectator seating
Better pathways, shaded seating areas, and improved accessibility

Caboolture to Host Revived Urban Country Music Festival in 2025

The Urban Country Music Festival is making its long-awaited return to Caboolture, bringing back live music and community spirit to the region after a nine-year hiatus.

Originally established to celebrate country music and foster community engagement, the festival has been a significant event for both residents and visitors. Organised by 121 Networks Ltd, a not-for-profit organisation, the event has previously drawn large crowds and contributed to local economic activity.

Event Details and Objectives

The festival aims to provide a family-friendly environment while showcasing Queensland talent. The event will take place on Saturday, 4 October 2025, at its original venue, the Caboolture Showgrounds, located off Beerburrum Road.

A free launch event will be held on Sunday, 9 February 2025, at the Caboolture Country Markets, featuring live performances and the official line-up announcement. Tickets for the main festival will also go on sale on the same day, with no prior bookings required for the launch.

Community Impact and Support

All proceeds from the festival will support the Angelus Community, a local organisation providing housing solutions for women over 55 facing homelessness in the Moreton Bay region.

According to 121 Networks Ltd, this demographic represents the fastest-growing group experiencing homelessness in Australia. The festival’s return is expected to raise awareness and much-needed funds to address this pressing issue.

Local leaders have expressed strong support for the festival’s return. City official Adam Hain of the City of Moreton Division 3 stated that Caboolture is where the city meets the country. He also added that this event always belonged in the suburbs, and it is great to see the community take ownership and bring it back.

Festival organiser Eric Whitehouse also highlighted the event’s importance, saying that the Urban Country Music Festival will be a great opportunity for Caboolture, and they are excited to announce the event, including the line-up, on 9 February.

Further details, including ticket pricing and performer schedules, will be available on the official Urban Country Music Festival website.
