Australia’s largest international country music festival, CMC Rocks, has started teasing something that will likely greatly excite its loyal attendees.

Yesterday (21 August), festival organisers posted some photos of very happy punters on Instagram, writing: “Something BIG’s coming… keep ya eyes peeled.”

Just hours ago, the hype built up even more as organisers revealed the date that pre-sale tickets would be available. Save the date because members of The Drove—CMC Rocks’ mailing list—can access “first dibs” on tickets from Tuesday, 3 September, at 10 am AEST.

If you’re not a member of The Drove and want early access to pre-sale tickets, you have up until 5 pm on Monday, 2 September, to sign up and gain access to purchasing pre-sale tickets early. You can sign up to become a member of The Drove here.

Upon revealing the pre-sale date, organisers teased, “And as for the line up… well, we’re keeping that one in the oven just a little while longer. Stay tuned!”

CMC Rocks will return to its home at Willowbank Raceway, Ipswich, Queensland, from Friday, 21 to Sunday, 23 March 2025.

Earlier this year, the Chairman of Chugg EntertainmentMichael Chugg, said about the festival’s return in 2025: “We’re thrilled to be announcing the dates for next year’s event off the back of an incredibly successful 2024 festival.

“We know fans travel from far and wide to attend CMC Rocks each year, so we wanted to get the community excited and dates in the calendar for our 2025 instalment. Another stellar line-up is already in the pipeline, and we can’t wait to reveal it later this year.”

CMC Rocks Festival Director Jeremy Dylan added, “The festival has grown so much in these ten years since we first made Willowbank our home, we are excited to return once again next year and we’re hard at work for making it the biggest and best CMC Rocks yet!”
