Craig Campbell is heading to Australia this week with a full schedule. He’ll be part of the CMC Rocks The Hunter festival for the first time in his career. He’ll also be celebrating the official release of his debut album in Australia on March 16th. He’ll be attending the CMC Awards on Friday, March 16th – the same day his album launches Down Under. Then the following day he’ll join a superstar lineup at CMC Rocks The Hunter with Faith Hill, Tim McGraw, and Dierks Bentley.

Craig’s self-titled debut album was released in North America on April 5th, 2011 and has since produced three US Billboard Hot Country Hot Singles “Family Man,” “Fish,” and “When I Get It.” His latest hit single, “When I Get It,” is currently getting airplay on the Australian charts and Australian Country Radio. The music video for the single has just hit the top 10 on CMC Top 30 Countdown. The album will be released through ABC Music / Universal Australia.

Looks like Australia is going to have one heck of a party next year. Hot on heels of the announcement of Faith Hill and Tim McGraw’s first performance together outside of North America, CMC Rocks the Hunter released part one of their lineup for the 2012 festival. Dierks Bentley, Eli Young Band, Craig Campbell and Colt Ford have all been added to the all-star lineup with more performers to be announced at a later day. Wish we could go!

CMC Rocks the Hunter 2012 will take place March 16th to the 18th at Hope Estate in the Hunter Valley. It’s an annual country music festival in Australia, which has included superstars Alan Jackson, Taylor Swift, Sugarland, Joe Nichols, Gary Allan and Jack Ingram in past years.

Tickets can be purchased now, and they even have a payment plan to pay off the tickets in monthly payments. There will be a camping site set up for fans, and the entire festival will take place on three stages over three days. Faith and Tim will close out the whole festival on Sunday evening.
