CMC Rocks, the premier country music festival in Australia is yee-ing and haw-ing its way back to us this March!
Born from a love for the heart and soul of country music, CMC Rocks got its start way back in the early 2000s, thanks to Rob Potts and Michael Chuggs, whose shared love and vision for the country music scene, festival expertise and desire to bridge the gape between Australia and Nashville brought this massive event to life.
Nineteen years later, the festival is still delivering an incomparable line-up year after year and has featured country juggernauts like Morgan Wallen, Luke Combs, Darius Rucker, The Chicks and even Taylor Swift herself!
What to expect
The festival site is built so that the two main stages, Rebel and Stampede, are positioned next to each other, providing non-stop music throughout the festival. Over 28 artists perform over the three days, with international and Australian artists bringing the best of their most toe-tappin’ tunes.
This year’s headliners are none other than Riley Green, Old Dominion and Jordan Davis, plus other stellar acts like Carly Pearce, James Johnston, The Wet Whistles and Hayley Jensen.
As if some of the biggest acts in modern country music weren’t enough, the festival also offers one-of-a-kind bars like Big Time Charlie’s and Nifty’s Sports Bar, plus super fun experiences that make the audience a part of the show and country community, including Honky Tonk Stomp line dancing, the incredible Songwriters Show, and Live Band Karaoke.
