CMC Rocks a huge hit

Almost 25,000 country music lovers descended on Willowbank Raceway in Queensland last weekend for the annual CMC Rocks Festival.

Headlined by Morgan Wallen, Zac Brown Band, Kip Moore, Ashley McBryde (pictured), The Wolfe Brothers and Jordan Davis, it marked the festival’s return to its traditional March timeslot for the first time since 2019.

“Five days of beautiful blue skies for the biggest CMC Rocks we’ve ever had,” said Festival Director, Jeremy Dylan.

“We brought the hottest country acts in the world to Ipswich and they were blown away by a crowd that knew the words to every song.

“We’ll never stop working to make each year a bigger and better experience for our fans and the artists – bring on 2024!” .

CMC Rocks once again cemented its place as Australia’s most significant country music event in 2023, with a festival experience like nothing else around.

“When some of the world’s biggest acts tell you it’s the best festival they have ever played it makes it all worthwhile,” said Executive Chairman of Chugg Entertainment, Michael Chugg.

“We are incredibly proud of our CMC Rocks community, 23,000 strong this year.

“This year’s CMC Rocks has certainly blown away the postCovid cobwebs.”
