ABOUT US

Calling all country fans who love a good party!

Groundwater Country Music Festival (CMF) gathers some of the best country artists in the industry for three days of FREE live music on the Gold Coast. Returning in 2023 for our 10th year from 20-22 October, there’s no other country music festival quite like it. Set only steps away from the iconic golden beaches of Broadbeach, Groundwater CMF gives the people what they want and brings the country to the coast!

The name Groundwater draws from both the Aboriginal people’s close spiritual connection, as well as the farming community’s reliance on groundwater for survival. To our core, Groundwater CMF is a festival that celebrates community, brought together by the shared love of country music.

So whip out your cowboy boots, dust off your hat and come for the party at Groundwater CMF 2023 from 20-22 October!

You can do your bit to help by:
