CMC Rocks is one of Queensland’s biggest country music festivals, drawing major international and Australian acts to Willowbank for a large-scale destination event each year.
CMC Rocks matters because it gives Queensland one of its clearest destination festival identities in country music. It attracts national attention, brings large crowds into the region and helps position South East Queensland as a major live music drawcard beyond the capital city itself.
CMC Rocks takes place at Willowbank in South East Queensland, giving the event a setting that feels removed from the city while still accessible for Brisbane and regional audiences. The 2026 festival is scheduled for 20–22 March.
