Country Fest Queensland 2027: two nights of country music at Townsville's racecourse
Up in North Queensland, Australia, the city of Townsville hosts a two-day gathering built around country music. The next edition runs on Friday 16 and Saturday 17 April 2027 at Cluden Park, home of the Townsville Turf Club, with backing from the city council through Townsville Enterprise. Three stages share the grounds: the Carmichael Ford Main Stage, the Jack Daniel's Saloon and, new this time, the Belle Property Entertainment Stage.
Friday leans on Australian voices such as Brad Cox, Austin Mackay, Hayley Jensen, Lane Pittman and Robbie Mortimer, alongside Ashes & Arrows. Saturday brings in an American headliner: Sam Barber tops a night that also features Arabella Romi, The Dreggs, Tori Darke and Willie Pake. A few of these acts drift towards folk. Set times have not been released yet.
It is very much a family day out: kids under 10 get in free when they come with a ticketed adult, and anyone under 16 must be accompanied. You can bring a folding chair, an empty water bottle, a few snacks and a backpack, which gets checked at the gate; alcohol and hot meals stay at home, since bars and food stalls operate on site. There is no camping at the venue, but a free shuttle runs a loop on both days between the grounds and two nearby parks, Discovery Parks Townsville and BIG4 Townsville Gateway Holiday Park. Parking is tight, so plan ahead.
Tickets for Country Fest Queensland 2027 start at AUD 95.65 for Friday, AUD 126.25 for Saturday or AUD 197.65 for both days as an adult general admission, while a two-day pass for 10 to 17 year olds costs AUD 75.25. VIP (from AUD 157.85) adds its own entry lane, shade, a private bar and private toilets, with alcohol not included. Afterpay instalments are available, and Companion Cards are accepted if you go through Oztix before buying. For more ideas, see festivals in April 2027 and festivals in Australia.
