JOIN IN THE FUN OF ROCK 'N' RODEO MUSTER 2024

This year Rock n Rodeo Muster in Darwin at the top end of Australia brings the iconic celebration and competition that is Mulletfest to Darwin for the first time, which is only right since Darwin’s very own Kieryn Johnston – NT Mullet Man – took out the Most Extreme Mullet award at the 2023 Alice Springs Red Centre NATS motorsport festival. With Mulletfest kicking off at 1pm, Johnston not only will be competing but will also be judging the kids’ section. As the man himself says, “My mullet is not just a hairstyle for me…it’s a lifestyle.” As his girlfriend says, “I’ll dump him if he ever cuts off his mullet!”

While Top End Rock N Rodeo Muster 2024 offers everything that makes a good rodeo – bulls, broncs and barrels – in conjunction with Mulletfest, this year also sees the event taking donations for a very important charity:

LET’S HELP BABY KEALII FIGHT BRAIN CANCER

On December 17 last year, Kealii, the 16 month old youngest son of an Indigenous NT family suffered a medical episode that led to the youngster being admitted to Royal Darwin Hospital. One month later an emergency MRI demonstrated that Kealii had “a posterior fossa tumour extending from the fourth ventricle”. Queensland Children’s Hospital applied for Commonwealth assistance to get Kealii to Florida for treatment to commence; however it is subject to approval, so time is of the essence. The cost of his treatments, therapies, medications and ongoing medical care has become incredibly challenging for the family to bear alone. So Top End Rock n Rodeo Muster invites you to donate.

Another great addition to the day’s festivities will be line-dancing led by Alice Springs dance artist Sila Crossley, throughout the day and night between breaks.

Also on hand to keep things moving through the day, from Mulletfest to line-dancing, DJ Longplay, who in his other guise runs Darwin’s popular Air Raid Records store, will be spinning the vinyl – “Real Country Music” – taking audiences on a journey back through the ‘80s and ‘90s.

DJ Sonix will be providing the soundtrack for the rodeo side of things, working with the bands, the competing cowboys and girls, and the commentators.

Gates open 11.30am for Top End Rock n Rodeo 2024 at Darwin Showgrounds Saturday 11 May.
