Alan Jackson To Headline North Queensland CMC Rocks Event

The North Queensland instalment of the CMC Rocks series of country music concerts in 2013 is going to be one to remember if the first announcement is anything to go by, as some mighty country talent has been unveiled to hit Townsville this September.

The hugely popular Alan Jackson will headline the event and by hugely popular we mean, the guy who has sold over 60 million albums, had a seemingly impossible number of hit songs and, in his first Australian tour in 2011, sold out all of his arena shows in mere minutes! He's one of the biggest country artists around and he'll ensure there'll be plenty of people in Townsville for the CMC Rocks event.

Also getting in on the action is much respected female country vocalist Sara Evans, who makes her first trip to Australia for the event, one of Australia's favourite Canadians, Corb Lund & The Hurtin Albertans and hugely popular Aussies Jasmine Rae and Morgan Evans.

The show hits Townsville's Reid Park on Saturday 28 September and tickets are on sale from the CMC Rocks website from 9am on Wednesday 29 May. They'll set you back $169 a pop or $89 for kids between 4 and 14 years old.
