The Queensland Times put out a call for who should win best dressed for their country music festival style and received more than 30 nominations — and now the votes are in.
FIRST PLACE
These black beauties won by a landslide with their glamorous, dark, and bedazzled outfits.
SECOND PLACE
The runner up for best dressed was this daring white, denim, and classic checkered flannel outfit.
THIRD PLACE
Townsville TikTocker Trystan James donned his Daisy Dukes with a classic tied off flannel shirt for an effortless cool-girl look — testing conservative ideals and giving fashionistas a run for their spot at third place.
FOURTH PLACE
Tied at fourth place is Harmony Parkinson and Holly Timewell.
Ms Parkinson went for a full denim look paired with brown and tan boots and a matching cow hide bag.
Ms Timewell stunned in frayed Daisy Dukes paired with a quintessential Akubra and boots, along with a daring jewelled and fringed crop top.
FIFTH PLACE
A number of festival-goers tied for fifth place.
Their outfits encapsulate the wide varieties of festival styles seen at CMC Rocks — from true blue get-ups featuring button downs, big jewelled belts, and jeans, to flowy boho country chic outfits.
In the lead up to the main event on Friday, a storm cell moved into South East Queensland pushing some campers to seek higher ground and a dry place to sleep.
A CMC Rocks spokesman thanked campers for “being absolute troopers” during the rough weather event.
“Everyone was kind to each other and let the CMC Rocks sprit shine through the storm,” he said.
“There is plenty of sunshine on the way.”
The Bureau of Meteorology forecasts a dry and cloudy weekend at Willowbank, with temperatures reaching a maximum of 29 on Thursday.
The weekend long festivities, which officially began Wednesday, will provide a boost to Ipswich’s economy, while locals and visitors lose themselves in the music and create memories to last a lifetime.
A handful of American stars will be headlining the festival including, Brad Paisley and Kane Brown – alongside Aussie favourite Morgan Evans.
Ipswich Mayor Teresa Harding said it was great to host the music festival at the Willowbank Raceway following the Covid-19 pandemic hiatus.
“This world class music event is a highlight for country music fans from all over Australia and around the world and we are thrilled it is back after a two-year break,” Mayor Harding said.
“CMC Rocks QLD not only brings national and international exposure to Ipswich it also injects millions of tourist dollars into the local economy.
“The fact this is the 15th anniversary of CMC Rocks just shows the loyalty it has from fans who keep coming back to enjoy five days of camping and great entertainment.”
