The McClymonts, Granger Smith & More Lead First Groundwater Line-up Announcement

The freshly rebranded Groundwater festival, formally Broadbeach Country Music Festival, is making the most of its new name by announcing a huge line-up for 2018.

Heading up the July festival will be the likes of The McClymonts, Granger Smith, Adam Harvey, O’Shea and a stack more.

The completely free festival has become a fixture of Broadbeach as Festival Director Mark Duckworth explains.

“Our festival has quickly gained a reputation for bringing together a collection of artists that work together to create a genuine festival feel,” Duckworth said.

“This line-up combines the best of Australian talent from the mainstream to the fringes of our land whilst fusing them with the authentic sounds of Nashville and Texas.”

The Groundwater festival will take place from 27-29 July over ten performance stages in the Broadbeach precinct of the Gold Coast. For more information, head to the official site.
