2015 is the fifteenth anniversary of the Argyle Diamonds Ord Valley Muster and in celebration Ord Valley Events Inc. is proud to announce a sensational program of events which will take place in and around Kununurra, 15-24 May. Last year all shows SOLD OUT so we urge everyone to get in quick to secure their tickets this year.

Last year the East Kimberley’s iconic Argyle Diamonds Ord Valley Muster won the Gold Award at the 2014 WA Tourism Awards in the category of Best Festivals and Events and recently it was named “Finalist” in the prestigious 2014 Australian Tourism Awards.  This is a great achievement as it recognises the quality of the event on a national level.

The diversity of the annual Muster guarantees its appeal for anyone looking to experience the extraordinary, as the people of Kununurra and Wyndham show the rest of the world how a community 800 kilometres from Darwin and more than 3,000 kilometres from Perth, can come together to create magic!


KIMBERLEY MOON EXPERIENCE

As always, the highlight of the Muster will be the Kimberley Moon Experience.  This year it will feature an outstanding line-up of Aussie greats: The Living End, Dan Sultan, The Whitlams and Megan Washington. It will take place on Saturday, 23 May under the stars at the Jim Hughes Amphitheatre, on the banks of the majestic Ord River in Kununurra.

“The board of Ord Valley Events is very excited about this year’s line-up. This is the first time we’ve had four major Australian acts at the KME and we’ve structured a line-up of acts that we believe will have appeal to everyone. We encourage people to get in early as we expect this year’s event will be another sell-out.” said Mr. Tony Chafer, Chairman of Ord Valley Events Inc.

One of Australia’s top rock bands, The Living End rose to fame in 1997 after the release of their double A-sided single, Second Solution/Prisoner of Society which peaked at No. 4 on the ARIA Singles Chart. They have released six studio albums and two reached the No. 1 spot on the ARIA Albums Chart: The Living End and State of Emergency. They have also gained chart success in the United States and United Kingdom.

The Living End have been nominated for 27  ARIA Music Awards and have won five awards: Highest Selling Single for Second Solution/Prisoner of Society, Breakthrough Artist – Album and Best Group for The Living End, Best Rock Album for White Noise, and the same category for The Ending Is Just the Beginning Repeating.


Three times ARIA Award winner Dan Sultan has had a massive 12 months. His critically acclaimed third album BLACKBIRD- named after the Nashville studio it was recorded in- has just hit gold, he has sold out shows all over Australia and in the UK, won 3 awards at the National Indigenous Music Awards for Best Album, Best Male and Best Single, won two more awards at the Age Victorian Music Awards for Best Album and Best Male and the best Rock Gong at last years ARIA Awards... and it doesn’t seem like stopping there. Currently out on the road as a special guest on Paul Kelly’s ‘Merri Soul Sessions’, Sultan takes to the road on his DIRTY GROUND solo tour which traverses every corner of the country from mid-February.
The Tim Freedman-led Whitlams have become a staple of the Australian music scene.  They won Best Group at the 1998 ARIA Awards, as well as Song of the Year and Best Independent Release for their 3rd album Eternal Nightcap.  The current lineup has remained unchanged for the last 10 years and four albums.
Megan Washington following her ARIA Award-winning, anthem-filled platinum debut I Believe You Liar (2010), and its follow-up – the majestic and sorrow-filled mini-album Insomnia (2011) – comes Megan Washington’s second full-length album. Inspired by the lush new-romantic sounds of the early ‘80s, There There is as infectious as ever – think leather jackets, blood-red lipstick, pastel hair and fluorescent swatches.
