CMC ROCKS QLD, the Southern Hemisphere’s biggest International Country and Roots Festival, will return to Willowbank Raceway in 2017, and event organisers can confirm that the 10th Anniversary of the festival will be the biggest to date!
It has today been announced that global superstars DIXIE CHICKS will return to Australia for the first time in OVER 10 YEARS to headline CMC Rocks QLD’s 10th Anniversary celebrations. The anticipated full artist line-up will be revealed on Friday 7 October.
To accommodate the festival’s international headliner, CMC Rocks QLD will shift back by two weeks. Country music lovers will take in the 10th Anniversary festivities from FRIDAY 24 – SUNDAY 26 MARCH 2017.
“Securing Dixie Chicks to headline the 2017 instalment of CMC Rocks QLD is a major coup, and we’re thrilled”, said promoter Rob Potts. “It’s unfortunate that Dixie Chicks had a major commitment shift, meaning they are unable to attend the festival dates we had already announced. Because 2017 is the 10th Anniversary of the festival, and we want to deliver the best possible line-up for the CMC Rocks audience, we made the tough decision to move the festival dates back by two weeks to make it happen. We are all about the country music fans, and we want to make sure that 2017 exceeds expectations and is the biggest celebration to date! It wasn’t done lightly and we know some fans will need to rearrange their plans, but there is plenty of time to do that. Let’s face it, who doesn’t want to be there for the triumphant return of Dixie Chicks to OZ. We are stoked that it is CMC Rocks QLD that can deliver this and make sure it continues to be Australian Country Music’s wildest party weekend!”
The 2017 Loyalty Pre-Sale will run from 9am AEST on Wednesday 5 October through to 5pm AEST on Thursday 6 October, or until the allocation is exhausted. Tickets will go on sale to the General Public at 9am AEST on Monday 10 October.
Dixie Chicks have no less than thirteen Grammy Awards, six Billboard Music Awards, four American Music Awards and countless Country Music Association Awards under their belt. They are a multi-platinum selling act across North America, Europe and Australia, and with over 30 million albums sold worldwide, are the biggest US female band of all time.
