In July, Kane Brown announced his return to Australia and New Zealand, with the singer-songwriter coming back to Australia two years after his triumphant headlining performance at CMC Rocks Queensland. The tour, which stars special guests Kameron Marlowe and Kaylee Bell, takes place this November.
In a review of CMC Rocks Queensland in 2022, Countrytown’s Stephen Green remarked of Brown’s headlining performance, “In a lot of ways, Kane Brown was the perfect headliner for day one of CMC Rocks. He represents the future of country music in a post-COVID world, where the barriers of pretence have been broken down.
“Brown managed to capture the future of CMC Rocks—a place where the country music spirit reigns supreme, but where audiences can be taken on a journey with their spirits lifted and their tastes challenged.”
