CMC Rocks 2027 | March 19-21, Australia

CMC Rocks is back in Queensland, Australia for their 20th year in 2027!

Mark your calendars and submit your leave, because Australia's hottest country music festival will be returning to Willowbank Raceway, Queensland from Wednesday 17* to Sunday 21 March 2027!

From the inaugural 2008 event in Thredbo, through the Hunter Valley, Townsville and now Willowbank, CMC Rocks QLD has grown into the most iconic country music festival in the Southern Hemisphere.

Lineup speculation is already running hot, with the full artist announcement coming later this year... stay tuned!!

In March 2026, the 19th instalment of CMC Rocks QLD delivered some of the most talked-about moments in festival history, from Tucker Wetmore’s epic (and shirtless) festival debut to Dasha’s surprise visit to the Honky Tonk Stomp line dancing and Lee Kernaghan joining James Johnston on stage for a huge rendition of the iconic ‘Boys From The Bush’.

Some of the weekend's most memorable moments came as artists joined forces on stage for a series of exclusive collaborations that could only be experienced at CMC Rocks QLD.  Tucker Wetmore joined Jordan Davis during his Sunday night headline set for a crowd-pleasing cover of Darius Rucker's ‘Wagon Wheel’, Tyla Rodrigues and Braxton Keith performed their heartfelt duet ‘Do I Ever Cross Your Mind’, while Riley Green and Carly Pearce reunited for a stunning rendition of their hit collaboration ‘If I Don't Leave I'm Gonna Stay’. These one-off performances showcased the camaraderie that has become a hallmark of the festival and delivered unforgettable moments for fans.

We can't wait to see what CMC Rocks QLD 2027 will bring!

*Festival is open exclusively to campers on Wednesday 17th and Thursday 18th March.
