Kasey Chambers completes CMC Rocks the Hunter lineup!

Chugg Entertainment, Rob Potts Entertainment Edge and XYZnetworks' Country Music Channel (CMC) are thrilled to announce ARIA award winner, Kasey Chambers, will complete the line-up for *CMC Rocks the Hunter 2011.

Already the biggest line-up of international country music stars ever seen in Australia, multi-platinum seller Chambers is a stellar addition to the list of roots and country artists. There is a total of 28 acts booked to perform at the event over the two days, Saturday 5th and Sunday 6th March.

The Festival is headlined by US superstar and legend, Alan Jackson, who has completely sold-out all five arena concerts here, with the recently announced CMA Female Artist of the Year, Miranda Lambert, and Australia’s Jasmine Rae.

CMC Rocks the Hunter 2011 is the only place fans can still purchase tickets to see Jackson and Lambert on their first-ever Australian tours. Also exclusive to the Festival are international country stars Joe Nichols (US), Jack Ingram (US), Emerson Drive (Canada), Buxton Hughes (US), O’Shea (US) and Dean Brody (Canada).

CMC Rocks the Hunter has already exceeded total ticket sales of any of the three years the event was staged in Thredbo as CMC Rocks the Snowys, which festival organisers are attributing to the new location and the unprecedented line-up of performers.

“The combination of a true music legend like Alan Jackson, and the move to the Hunter Valley, much closer to the bigger population centres, has proven irresistible to music fans,” says Rob Potts, co-promoter for the Festival.

A full list of performance times for the Festival is listed on the event page. Hosts for the event will be the Presenter of US TV’s “Headline Country,” Storme Warren and CMC Presenter and Aussie country rocker, Steve Forde.
