Urban Country Music festival 2010 Review By UCN  : UCN
While the press release describes the Queensland town of Caboolture as ‘a little bit urban and a little bit country’, the first weekend in May (April 29 – May 2) it’s all country when the Urban Country Music Festival rolls into town. Over the course of four days you can enjoy two great concerts and a whole host of free events all celebrating country music in all its forms!

All you need to know is in the press release:

Boasting a new festival precinct in 2011 including the Caboolture Historical Village, Caboolture Showgrounds and Alexander Barr Sporting Complex with camping only a stone’s throw away – it will be a weekend not to be missed.

Family favourite Urban Blaze has a new role in 2011 – to open the festival in true country style on Friday Night. The festival is pleased to welcome back country superstars Jetty Road to kick up some dust alongside Paul Costa, The Bostocks and 2010 Voice of Urban winners BRADE, with crackling bonfires, fire twirling, tough of nails competition and a fireworks extravaganza.

Festival favourites including the Beaut Ute Competition, Bush Poets, Bluegrass Brunch, linedancing, clogging, Songwriters Café, New Zealand Showcase, Stockman’s Arena and Voice of Urban Talent Search will be returning in 2011. Most events and concerts are delivered free or at little cost.

Grammy Nominated heart throb – Joe Nichols from USA (hits include ‘Tequila Makes Her
Clothes Fall Off’, ‘Gimme That Girl’ and ‘The Impossible’) will set hearts racing when he takes to the stage at the Saturday Night Concert. Joe will be supported by James Reyne, The McClymonts, Jonah’s Road and the 2011 Toyota Starmaker Luke Dickens. For those that enjoy more urban music, the Sunday Night Concert is headlined by Evermore. Joining them onstage is Thirsty Merc, The Potbelleez, Amy Meredith and Sinead Burgess.

The festival is also welcoming a Friday Night Rodeo, Urban Country Tribute Show to legends Slim Dusty and Johnny Cash and a Sunday Gospel concert.

The festival, presented by Moreton Bay Regional Council, is supported by major sponsors Caboolture Shire Herald and Grand Prix Mazda.
