North Queensland is preparing for a massive musical takeover as Country Fest Queensland in June 2026 at Cluden Park. This two day extravaganza promises to be the premier event for country music fans in Townsville. Organisers have just pulled back the curtain on a stellar lineup that balances global star power with homegrown legends. Whether you are a die hard fan of Nashville sounds or prefer the grit of local storytelling, this festival delivers it all on 12 and 13 June 2026.
A Heavyweight Lineup for Cluden Park
The excitement surrounding Country Fest Queensland 2026 reached fever pitch with the announcement of global sensation Morgan Evans as the Saturday night headliner. Fresh from international stages, Evans brings his signature loop pedal magic back to Queensland soil. Joining him on the roster is James Johnston, who has quickly become one of the most bankable names in the Australian circuit. The Wolfe Brothers also join the bill, ensuring the energy remains high with their high-octane stage presence and chart-topping hits.

Beyond the headliners, Country Fest Queensland 2026 showcases an incredible depth of talent. Rising stars like Rachael Fahim and Max Jackson will take to the stage, alongside fan favourites Zac & George. This event serves as a vital platform for the next generation of country artists to perform for thousands of passionate fans. The transition to Townsville marks a significant expansion for the festival, positioning the city as the northern capital of country music.
More Than Just the Music
While the tunes are the main draw, Country Fest Queensland 2026 offers a full scale destination experience for the whole family. Cluden Park will transform into a vibrant hub featuring market stalls, a wide array of food vendors, and dedicated kids’ rides. Fans can also sharpen their moves with line dancing sessions or head over to the Jack’s Saloon for a true honky-tonk atmosphere. The inclusion of the Dittmann Bucking Bulls ensures that the “country” vibe extends well beyond the stage.
