World-famous Australian artists Lime Cordiale, Thelma Plum and Mark Seymour & The Undertow are among the headline acts confirmed to perform at the Kimberley Moon Experience at the Ord Valley Muster next year.
The 2025 event is scheduled to run from 16 to 25 May and expected to entice thousands of visitors from outside the region to experience the 10-day festival and its pinnacle event, the Kimberley Moon Experience, featuring a stellar line-up of musicians.
Set against the backdrop of Kununurra/Goonoonoorrang, the Ord Valley Muster takes visitors on a cultural journey spanning tens of thousands of years of Aboriginal history, told through storytelling, art, and performance, alongside music, comedy, river cruises, unique dining experiences and family activities.
Across the 10 days, visitors can immerse themselves in a diverse program, with other standout events including the Kimberley Fine Diamonds Dinner; Party in the Park, a free family event; new events including a Cliffside Dinner at Lake Argyle and a Bottomless Brunch at Emma Gorge; and yoga boats - the chance to stretch and relax in a serene lagoon setting.
The annual festival is an established highlight of Western Australia's regional events calendar and was recently awarded Silver in the 2024 Perth Airport WA Tourism Awards, in the Festivals and Events category.
In 2024, the Ord Valley Muster attracted close to 1,500 out-of-region visitors and injected millions into the local economy, providing an important boost to the local community.
The WA Government has proudly supported the Ord Valley Muster for 20 years and has confirmed a $400,000 uplift in funding for the event over the next two years to ensure its ongoing success as a key annual event for the Kimberley region.
