One of the biggest gatherings of country music stars and icons in Australia, CMC Rocks QLD have unveiled a host of established American artists alongside the next crop of emerging talent who are headed to Ipswich in 2024.
The three main headliners are Lainey Wilson ('Things A Man Oughta Know', 'Heart Like A Truck'), Tyler Hubbard ('5 Foot 9', 'Dancin' In The Country') and Chris Young ('I'm Comin' Over', 'Famous Friends').Four-time winner at the 2023 Academy Of Country Music Awards (including Album Of The Year and Female Artist Of The Year) Lainey Wilson is one of the hottest names in country right now (she has a record breaking nine nominations at the Country Music Association Awards).
With a legacy of 21 No.1 singles on country radio, a slew of awards, and tours that consistently sell out, Tyler Hubbard (Florida Georgia Line) lands at CMC Rocks as a solo artist, his self-titled debut album released early 2023 amassing more than one billion global streams.
Chris Young's distinctive baritone voice has become synonymous with country music, the artist inducted into the Grand Ole Opry in 2017 as well as achieving the number one spot on Billboard's Top Country Albums chart in 2021 with 'Famous Friends' (his collab with Kane Brown).
CMC Rocks QLD will also welcome a host of American stars including Chase Rice ('Eyes On You', 'Lonely If You Are', 'Ready Set Roll'), Oliver Anthony (who went viral earlier this year with his hit 'Rich Men North Of Richmond'), Nate Smith ('Whiskey On You', 'Under My Skin'), Kameron Marlowe ('Giving You Up', 'Girl On Fire') and Megan Moroney ('Tennessee Orange', 'I'm Not Pretty').
Aussie stars Brad Cox and Casey Barnes return to CMC Rocks as well, proving themselves as festival favourites. Topping off a stellar international line-up are Morgan Wade, Ian Munsick, Jackson Dean, Priscilla Block, Bryan Martin, Drake Milligan, Elvie Shane, Cooper Alan, Tyler Braden and DJs Vavo.
"CMC Rocks QLD has always been about bringing the global country music community together," Chairman of Chugg Entertainment, Michael Chugg says.
"This year, with such a diverse and powerful line-up, we're set to deliver an experience that transcends boundaries and resonates with fans old and new. Every year, CMC Rocks QLD surpasses expectations, and 2024 will be no exception."

"We've got a line-up stacked with the most exciting country talent of today from around the world and we can't wait to be back in Willowbank in March for another incredible weekend together."
