It comes after the family-run Northdown vineyard experienced unprecedented demand for tickets for the March 5 concert, which sold out in under a day.
A slightly stunned Ghost Rock Winery director Justin Arnold said people snapped up the tickets for the Saturday show within about five hours.
"We were blown away at selling 1500 tickets in a few hours," he said.
Concert in the Vines has become the winery's signature annual event.
Tickets sell well, but it usually takes a few months before they all go.
When Ms Ceberano heard what happened, she suggested putting on the Sunday show as well.
It will feature the same concert lineup with The Black Sorrows, and Tassie acts Everburn and Pete Cornelius.
"We had a call from Kate and her team to say she'd heard about the concert selling out in under a day," Mr Arnold said.
"She insisted on staying over to then put on a Sunday afternoon show, and well, she's a hard person to say 'no' to.
"After calling around our event partners, suppliers, and contractors, the response we got was yes.
"We couldn't put on another day without our staff, and I'm so proud of their enthusiasm to take on doing it two days in a row.
"We think that the public and the community will get behind a second day, so we're going to give it a go.
"It was a little surreal to be planning out our second show when the Summer Festival in Hobart was cancelled. It's a credit to the Coast."
The Ghost Rock concerts are seated to meet Tassie's COVID rules.
Tickets for the March 6 show will go on sale on November 13 from 9 am.
