A New Legend in the Making: 2026 Toyota Star Maker Winner

The dust has settled, the final chords have been played, and the verdict is in! We are absolutely thrilled to congratulate the winner of the 2026 Toyota Star Maker competition at the Tamworth Country Music Festival.

Star Maker is the ultimate launchpad for Australian country music talent, and seeing this year's winner take the stage was a moment to remember. But for us at Outback Traders, this win felt a little more personal.

Kitted Out for the Big Stage

You can’t head out on a national winner's tour without looking the part! To celebrate the win and ensure our new mate is "festival ready" for the year ahead, we were proud to gift him some signature Outback Traders gear.

Keep an eye out on stages across Australia, as you’ll be seeing the 2026 Star Maker winner rocking:

• Outback King (OBK) Shirts: Built for the stage and the station, offering that authentic Aussie look.
  
  

• An Outback King Hat: The crowning glory of any Western outfit. Our OBK hats are designed to handle the bright lights and the hot sun.
  
  

• Corral Boots: Only the best for the best! We made sure he’s stepping out in handcrafted Corral boots, known for their incredible detail and comfort during long sets.

The Journey Begins

The Star Maker title is just the beginning of what we know will be an incredible career. We are honoured to have played a small part in kitting out Australia’s newest country music icon.

From everyone at Outback Traders Australia, congratulations again. We’ll be cheering you on from the front row!
