25.01.2022 We know there is some uncertainty out there at the moment and we understand the measures that the government have put in place in order to help protect Australians in these troubled and unknown times. At this stage we would like to make it known that Mackay Airport presents NQ's Rock'n Country is still planned to go ahead on the 28th and 29th August as there is no indication that the ban will still be in place. The industry and all the people involved need this ban to be lifted as soon as possible as their lively hoods depend on festivals to come. With that in mind, we will continue as planned to deliver to North Queensland, Australia's best country acts. We also send our thoughts to those who have been directly affected by this virus.

18.01.2022 We have had a lot of enquires regarding whether Mackay Airport presents NQ’s Rock’n Country will be proceeding. At this stage the event is planned to go ahead as scheduled in August 2020. We are monitoring the situation very closely and taking it day by day as like the rest of the country. Many industries are struggling through this hard time, and the entertainment industry is one of those. With still a few months until the festival we are hoping that the current COVID-19 s...ituation is under control and we are able to proceed as planned. Many peoples livelihood are relying on this event, including the artists, vendors and local businesses. We would love to come out on the other side this pandemic with this festival to look forward to. Of course the health and safety of our performers, attendees and everyone involved is most important to us. So the decision will not be made lightly. We appreciate everyone’s understanding and patience with this matter and we promise to keep everyone updated. As soon as something changes we will be informing the public. Fingers crossed to seeing you all in August 2020 Stay safe everyone!

17.01.2022 There are many terms people use when describing James Blundell. Icon. Legend. Controversial. Rebel. The truth is - James Blundell is all of these things. He is unashamedly honest and comfortable in his own skin. He radiates an enthusiasm for everything that life has to offer and it’s this authenticity that makes him one of the most instantly likable and recognisable artists in Australian music.... Acknowledged by many as the act that single-handedly shaped modern Australian country music by infusing his influences of John Mellencamp, The Band and The Angels with the storytelling ethos of Slim Dusty and his lyrical insight, sharp wit and empathy for the average working man. This combined with his handsome good looks and country charm ensured there was no stopping his success across all demographics. We can not wait to see James Blundell performing in August! Tickets are available at https://bit.ly/3949r9V
