CMC Rocks Just Added A Whole Bunch Of Rustic Legends To Its 2017 Line-up

The 10th CMC Rocks event in Queensland has unveiled the full artist line-up to complement previously announced headliners the Dixie Chicks, with the roster of A-list acts rounding out the bill led by acclaimed US artists Little Big Town and Kip Moore, as well as stalwart Aussie country icon Lee Kernaghan.

Little Big Town join the line-up as reigning Grammy winners for Country Duo/Group Of The Year (among other awards), making their Australian debut in the wake of a period of widespread touring across the States. Moore should be no stranger to country fans — or CMC fans, for that matter, as an alumnus of the festival — as a Platinum-selling, Nashville-born artist, while Kernaghan needs even less introduction, having been a fixture of the national circuit for decades now.

With passes set to go on sale from early next week, organisers have ensured there are plenty of reasons to get in line nice and early for March's impending event, naming a wealth of well-regarded Aussie artists on the bill for 2017, including Morgan Evans, Adam Harvey, The McClymonts, The Wolfe Brothers, Jasmine Rae, Imogen Clark, Mustered Courage, Christie Lamb, Col Finley and more.

Additionally, overseas drawcards include a wealth of inbound Americans, including Tyler Farr, Craig Campbell, Charles Esten and more, as well as UK fly-ins The Shires and Ward Thomas.

"There is no other country festival in the world that presents a main-stage program with artists from Australia, New Zealand, USA, UK and Canada, and it is a big part of the unique program that Aussie fans get to enjoy at CMC Rocks Qld," promoter Rob Potts said in a statement. "Together with some of the absolute superstars of the genre, our line-ups over the years have featured many brand new breaking artists in a winning combination of legends, current hit makers and big stars of the future.

"It is always a blast to be able to bring these line-ups to the amazing fans that come to our festival each year, allowing them to embrace their favorites of today and discover new and unknown faves of the future."

CMC Rocks Qld 2017 will be held at Willowbank, Ipswich, from Friday 24 to Sunday 26 March.

Tickets will be available from 9am AEST on Monday, 10 October.
