Sheppard To Headline Gympie Music Muster Festival

Indie pop band Sheppard will be appearing at some of the biggest music festivals this year, including Rock In Rio in Brazil, Summer Sonic in Japan and the iconic American spectacle, Lollapalooza.

And the Brisbane formed group can now add an appearance in their own backyard to that list, with the announcement that they will headline the Gympie Music Muster festival. 

Sheppard, who have claimed international acclaim in recent times with their hit song, Geronimo, will take to the main stage at the 34th annual show at Amamoor Creek State Forest, taking place from August 27-30.

Lead vocalist Amy Sheppard said the band were looking forward to their shows, after being forced to pull out of the event last year. 

"We were scheduled to do Gympie last year but unfortunately international commitments got in the way" she said.

"We promised we'd make it up to fans and we can't think of a better way than to add it to our tour diary for this year. We can't wait!"

Other acts scheduled to perform at the festival include local country music artists Adam Brand, Troy Cassar-Daley, US songstress Mary Chapin Carpenter and many more.
