The CMC Rocks team want to hear from potential punters thinking of heading to next year’s festival, encouraging festivalgoers to reveal who’s on their dream line-up.

While the line-up for next year’s festival is likely already locked and loaded, there’s nothing wrong with having some fun and enjoying fan interactions.

CMC Rocks is after you having your say: you can share up to four artist names here and win tickets to next year’s event. Of course, fans don’t only want their shot at winning tickets to next year’s festival; they also want to share the names they’re most keen to see on next year’s festival poster.

Popular names shared on Instagram and Facebook include Ella Langley, Sam Barber, Treaty Oak Revival, Zach Top, Kelsea Ballerini, Jason Aldean, Shaboozey, and Parker McCollum, plus some of the biggest names in all of country music: Morgan Wallen and Jelly Roll.

There’s also a campaign to lock in Australian artists, with fans on social media sharing posts and encouraging fellow punters to vote for acts such as Tyla Rodrigues, Keely Ellen, Hayley Jensen, Jaydin Shingleton, Lily Grace, and Nathan Lamont.

According to the results of the fan-voted survey a punter shared on Facebook, Shingleton led the votes as of this morning, followed by Keely Ellen, Ella Langley, Lily Grace, and Morgan Wallen.

CMC Rocks will return to Willowbank Raceway, Ipswich, Queensland in 2026 and will take place from Friday, 20 to Sunday, 22 March.

In March, festival organisers teased what you can expect from next year’s line-up – an “exceptional roster” of “seasoned legends and rising stars,” as well as the “very best in homegrown talent” – as they plot an unforgettable weekend of country music and experiences. The full artist line-up will be announced later this year.

Highlights from this year’s event included headlining sets from Cody Johnson, Jon Pardi, and Thomas Rhett. Other acts on the line-up, such as Kaylee Bell, Max Jackson, Zach Top, Travis Collins, Lane Pittman, and Alana Springsteen, delivered high-octane, high-quality sets. The 2025 event sold out quickly, with over 23,000 punters who made their way to Ipswich.

Jeremy Dylan, Festival Director, Potts Entertainment, said of next year’s event, “We’re already deep in the planning for next year’s festival, and seeing all the joy and love from our CMC Rocks community these past few days has us itching to be back on-site next March.

“As always, we’ll be hard at work finding ways to make the next one even bigger and better than the epic weekend we just shared together.”
