Country Fest QLD, another of Australia’s favourite music festivals, is teasing two huge American headliners for this year’s event.
The 2025 edition of the event will take place on Friday, 27 June, and Saturday, 28 June, at the Dittman Bull Pit in Bloomsbury, Queensland.
In addition to the American headliners yet to be announced, Australian acts, including James Johnston, Shannon Noll, Zac & George, Luke Geiger, and Shaun Diver, will take to the stage on Friday. On Saturday, Casey Barnes, Tori Darke, Wade Forster, Route 33, Mack Geiger, and Cade Geiger will perform throughout the day.
According to a social media post, fans won’t have to wait much longer to find out who the American headliners will be. “Hold onto your hats, folks. We have a Secret US headliner for Friday night and Saturday night to be announced this February,” the organisers teased.
At the time of publication, only two-day tickets are available for purchase ahead of the festival. You can buy tickets on the Country Fest QLD website.
Creedence Clearwater Revival icon John Fogerty was due to headline last year's event, but he was removed from the line-up just weeks before the festival was due to take place.

Fogerty and Country Fest QLD attempted to resolve the issue in court in Australia before it was sent to arbitration in the US. After Fogerty won his push for the case to be resolved in the US, Country Fest QLD was ordered to pay “some” of his legal fees.
The 2024 event was stacked with talent, including James Johnston, Zac & George, Tori Darke, Morgan Evans, Lee Kernaghan, Bella Mackenzie, Lane Pittman, Max Jackson, The Wolfe Brothers, Zac Cross Band and more.
