Now in its seventh year of operation and fourth year in the Hunter, CMC Rocks the Hunter festival has established itself as the biggest International Country & Roots Festival outside of North America. One of the premiere events on the Australian music calendar, it brings together the best international and local country and roots performers at Hope Estate in the beautiful Hunter Valley.
“We’re thrilled to be bringing CMC Rocks back to the Hunter for its fourth consecutive year. The reception from businesses in the area has been so wonderfully mutual over the years; Over a quarter of the event staff are locals hired from across the region and more than 25% of the event’s total expenditure is with companies within the region too. We’re proud to be supporting both local businesses and local Australian music.” Chugg Entertainment CEO, Matthew Lazarus-Hall
