Eric Church, Brooks & Dunn and Ashley McBryde will headline CMC Rocks QLD’s 20th-anniversary festival at Willowbank Raceway, with tickets on general sale from Friday, September 25.
The country music festival returns to Willowbank Raceway, west of Brisbane in Ipswich, from March 19–21, 2027. Its new bill stretches from US country heavyweights to Australian favourites and a long run of emerging acts.
Brooks & Dunn, Eric Church and Ashley McBryde lead the three-day lineup. Further up the bill are Turnpike Troubadours, Parker McCollum, Kameron Marlowe, 49 Winchester and Lanie Gardner, with Kaylee Bell and Lane Pittman among the Australasian names.
CMC Rocks QLD 2027 lineup and headliners
The official lineup also includes Blake Whiten, Randall King, Zach John King, Colby Acuff, Tyler Nance, Lily Meola, Tyce Delk, Kassi Ashton, Liam St. John, Kruse Brothers, Zac & George, Rachael Fahim, Jade Eagleson, Tori Darke, Dear Tommie, Sons Of Atticus, Loren Ryan, Jack Biilmann, Ethan Calway, Piper Butcher, Sarah Grace Buckley, Bianca Joulianou, Caillin Malley, Dee Jaye Bux, Willie Pake and Ladies Love Country.
The festival is marking 20 years with a lineup that gives country fans several different reasons to head to Willowbank: Brooks & Dunn’s catalogue, Church’s arena-sized shows, McBryde’s songwriting and the rougher edge of Turnpike Troubadours and 49 Winchester. It is a substantial bill for a festival that has made Ipswich a regular stop for country fans travelling from across Queensland and interstate.
