The highly decorated Lainey Wilson is making her Australian debut as one of three American headliners at CMC Rocks QLD 2024.
The Things A Man Oughta Know singer swept the 2023 Country Music Association Awards with five trophies including for entertainer of the year, album of the year and female vocalist of the year.
She'll be joined by Tyler Hubbard, best known for his time as one half of the hugely successful Florida Georgia Line, and Nashville star Chris Young.
The sold-out festival takes over Ipswich's Willowbank Raceway from March 15 to 17.
Beyond the music festival-goers can get a free mullet haircut, join the Honky Tonk Stomp each afternoon or step into the limelight as frontman of a live band in karaoke.
CMC Rocks' stages have been graced by some of the biggest country music stars in its 17-year run, such as The Chicks, Luke Combs, Morgan Wallen, Luke Bryan, Troy Cassar-Daley, Lee Kernaghan, and a 19-year-old Taylor Swift.
The festival is estimated to inject $11 million into the local Ipswich economy each year, with more than 90 per cent of attendees making the pilgrimage to the event from outside the city.
Fans who missed out on the sold-out festival may be able to snap up a ticket through the resale on Moshtix.
