A Night in Nashville: Country Music, Boots and Boutique Stays in Orange NSW

Orange is set to turn up the volume on Saturday 14 March 2026 as A Night in Nashville returns to the Orange Showground for its fifth year.

Confirmed performers include:

• Lane Pittman
• Robbie Mortimer
• Brooke Schubert
• Mack Gieger
• Liam Maihi
• Jaydin Shingleton
• Keely Ellen
• Lenny Boss

Alongside the music, guests can explore boutique vendors, indulge in Americana-style food trucks, try line dancing, or test their courage on the mechanical bull.

It is vibrant, social and unmistakably fun.
