Jordan Davis, Old Dominion, and Riley Green are heading down under to headline Australia’s premiere country music festival, CMC Rocks QLD.
The country stars lead the just-announced lineup for the 19th edition of the festival, which is set to take place Friday March 20 to Sunday March 22, 2026 at Willowbank Raceway, Ipswich, Queensland
Carly Pearce, Tucker Wetmore, Dasha, Gavin Adcock, Tyler Braden, Hudson Westbrook, Josh Ross, Waylon Wyatt, Bayker Blankenship, Braxton Keith, Vincent Mason, Willow Avalon, Alexandra Kay, The Castellows, Jake Worthington, Elizabeth Nichols, Zach John King, and more will also take the stage.
CMC has long served as the launchpad for country music’s rising stars, giving Australian audiences an early look at future stadium-fillers, from Luke Combs’ breakthrough performance in 2018 to Taylor Swift’s appearance in 2009, years before she became a global superstar.
“Year after year, the loyalty of this crowd blows me away. Nearly half of them are flying in from interstate and so many have been making the trip for over a decade. That kind of commitment is rare in live music and it’s why we work so hard to keep delivering world-class lineups,” Chairman of Chugg Entertainment, Michael Chugg, said. “2026’s bill is stacked with incredible talent, big international names, Aussie favourites, and the next generation coming through. It’s going to be one hell of a weekend at Willowbank.”
“It’s so exciting to see the depth and breadth of this lineup, from massive stars making their CMC Rocks (and Australian) debut, and favourites like Old Dominion that our fans have been clamouring for since they last rocked Willowbank in 2018,” Jeremy Dylan, Festival Director, Potts Entertainment, added. “We have been working hard to give the fans an even better experience than our epic 2025 festival, and we can’t wait to be back on site in March.”
Attendees can enjoy an intimate Songwriters show, set in the round just like in Nashville, while campers can keep the party going at the Amazon Music After Party late into the night. Back Forty will once again showcase rising local talent at the Cowboy Campground and Great Northern House. Plus, there will be plenty of options for food and drinks throughout the festival.
In 2025, more than 26,000 fans attended the sold-out festival.
Tickets for CMC Rocks QLD 2026 go on sale at 10 a.m. AEST on Thursday, September 4, via AXS.com.au.
