CMC ROCKS THE HUNTER - SAVE THE DATES!

XYZnetworks’ Country Music Channel (CMC), Rob Potts Entertainment Edge and Chugg Entertainment announced the dates today for Australia’s premiere roots and country festival - CMC ROCKS THE HUNTER 2012. The event will be staged at the beautiful Hope Estate in the Hunter Valley (NSW) over the weekend of FRIDAY 16TH MARCH to SUNDAY 18TH MARCH, 2012.

After three years at Friday Flat, Thredbo, the Festival moved to the Hunter valley in 2011, and fans and organisers alike were delighted with the new site. Saturday night’s Headliner, Joe Nichols, described the venue as “how I imagine heaven”. Since its inception in 2008, CMC ROCKS has gone from strength to strength, with fans flocking from all regions to see US superstars, Alan Jackson, Taylor Swift, SugarLand, Gary Allan and Joe Nichols; along with local stars, Lee Kernaghan, Kasey Chambers, John Butler Trio, Pete Murray, Ian Moss, Dan Sultan and The McClymonts - to name just a few of the event’s previous artists.

CMC ROCKS THE HUNTER 2012 will continue to deliver a world-class mix of Aussie and International talent again next year, against the picturesque backdrop of the Hunter. The lineup and ticket prices will be announced later this year and camping will be again available on site. But for now, please make sure you save these dates -

FRIDAY 16TH MARCH - SUNDAY 18TH MARCH, 2012
