At an exclusive launch event in Sydney this evening, the full artist lineup for the 2019 installment of Australia’s premiere country and roots festival, CMC ROCKS QLD, has been revealed.
 
The event will once again take place across four days, kicking off proceedings exclusively for campers on Thursday 14th March, and continuing across three jam-packed days. With an A-List lineup featuring 19 international and 7 huge local acts, CMC Rocks QLD 2019 will once again deliver the hottest country artists from Australia and around the world to country music lovers.
 
Leading the charge are global superstars FLORIDA GEORGIA LINE, who return to Australia with a swag of chart-topping hits, including ‘
Meant To Be’ with Bebe Rexha, ‘God, Your Mama, And Me’ featuring Backstreet Boys, ‘H.O.L.Y’, ‘Simple’ and more. After dominating their Rocks debut in 2016, the duo will up the ante when they hit the stage three years on. They’ve sold out stadiums across North America, chalked up countless Billboard, CMT, ACM, CMA and American Music Awards, and were the first ever country act to achieve Diamond certification, with best-selling song ‘Cruise’ spending an epic 24 weeks at No.1. 
 
In a huge coup, and making his debut Australian appearance, is one of country’s hottest starsTHOMAS RHETT. The platinum-selling chart-topper has 8 No.1 US country hits to his name, with an eclectic catalogue that blends the southern swagger of country music with pop hooks, R&B grooves, soulful strut and the anything-goes attitude of rock. Rhett’s poignant hit single, ‘
Die A Happy Man’, scooped up a Grammy nomination and won him trophies for Billboard’s Top Country Song and CMA Song of the Year, and with his stellar album Life Changes, Rhett is proving why he’s one the most exciting artists on the global music stage.   
 
Due to popular demand, and returning for his second consecutive CMC Rocks appearance, is the electrifying LUKE COMBS. Combs has enjoyed a stellar 2018 after setting stages alight on his debut Australian dates earlier this year; his debut record This One’s For You entered the ARIA Album Chart at No.7, topping the ARIA Country Chart, and is the highest-selling country album in Australia so far this year. 

Local hit-makers and much-loved festival alumni, KASEY CHAMBERS and TROY CASSAR-DALEY, lead the local roster for 2019. With musical DNA pumping through her veins, Kasey Chambers is one of Australia’s most prolific singer-songwriters and revered live performers.

With a songbook spanning three decades, Troy Cassar-Daley will return to Rocks with a 42-trackGreatest Hits album under his belt, showcasing modern Aussie anthems like ‘
Born To Survive’, ‘Dream Out Loud’ and ‘They Don’t Make ‘Em Like That Anymore’. The multi-platinum singer-songwriter has scooped up 4 ARIA Awards, 31 No.1 singles, and a whopping 36 Golden Guitars.
