CMC Rocks Willowbank has been locked in for another two years.
The partnership, first secured in 2015 by Tourism and Events Queensland will see the popular event stay at Willowbank, Ipswich until 2026.
It comes after the 2025 concert dates were announced on stage during performances at Willowbank Raceway on Friday night.
The concert is to be held from March 21 to 23 next year.

Tourism Minister Michael Healy said Queensland has boot-scooted its way to the top after securing another two-year deal with CMC Rocks Willowbank with the event going from strength to strength since relocating to Queensland in 2015.
“CMC Rocks is an iconic Queensland event with people travelling from all over Australia and the world to see the biggest country music stars and to kick up the dust with their mates.
“We fought hard against a southern poaching raid to keep this event in Queensland, it injects $14 million into the local economy and contributes to the state’s mega events calendar worth $850 million,” he said.
Meanwhile, Chairman of Chugg Entertainment, Michael Chugg said that they’re thrilled to be announcing the dates for next year’s event off the back of an incredibly successful 2024 festival.
“We know fans travel from far and wide to attend CMC Rocks each year, so we wanted to get the community excited and dates in the calendar for our 2025 instalment.
Another stellar lineup is already in the pipeline, and we can’t wait to reveal it later this year,” Mr Chugg said.
