# Event Details - **Event Name**: Sounds of Rock - Rockhampton - **Event Start and End Date**: Sat, 05 Sep, 2026 at 12:00 pm (+10:00) - **Event Description**: SOUNDS OF ROCK MUSIC FESTIVAL DEBUTS IN ROCKHAMPTON! Rockhampton is set to become the Rock Capital this September. For the very first time, the acclaimed Sounds of Rock Music Festival is heading to Rockhampton, bringing a world-class lineup of international icons and Australian music royalty for a massive one-day celebration of hits. Leading the charge for this historic debut is the sophisticated UK duo GO WEST. Known for their signature pop-rock sound, Peter Cox and Richard Drummie dominated the global airwaves with smash hits like “King of Wishful Thinking” (from the Pretty Woman soundtrack) and “We Close Our Eyes,” making their inclusion a massive win for local fans. The international star power continues with a very special guest all the way from the USA: pop sensation DEBBIE GIBSON. With a career that saw her become the youngest female artist to write, produce, and perform a #1 hit on the Billboard Hot 100, Gibson will bring her infectious energy and chart-topping classics like “Lost in Your Eyes” and “Only in My Dreams” to the Central Queensland stage. The Australian contingent is equally formidable. THE ANGELS return to deliver the high-octane pub rock that defined a generation, featuring anthems like “Am I Ever Gonna See Your Face Again” and “No Secrets.” They are joined by the high-energy BOOM CRASH OPERA, who will have the crowd in full voice with “Great Wall” and “The Best Thing.” Adding to the party atmosphere are synth-pop pioneers PSEUDO ECHO, bringing their neon-soaked energy and the world-famous “Funkytown” to the lineup. They are joined by the iconic DRAGON, whose hits “April Sun in Cuba” and “Rain” are essential requirements for any Australian festival. The lineup is rounded out by the smooth pop harmonies of BACHELOR GIRL (“Buses and Trains”) and the melodic rock of TAXIRIDE featuring Jason Singh (“Get Set,” “Everywhere You Go”), ensuring the music doesn't stop from the first chord to the final encore. "We have been wanting to bring Sounds of Rock to Rockhampton for a long time," says a festival spokesperson. "To be able to do it for the first time with an international lineup of this caliber—including Go West and Debbie Gibson—is incredibly exciting. Central Queensland has a massive appetite for live music, and we’re ready to deliver an unforgettable day." - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/fairy-bower/sounds-of-rock-rockhampton/200030201972408 - **Event Categories**: festivals, music, entertainment, music-festivals, pop, parties, live-music, art - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 64 ## Ticket Details ## Event venue details - **city**: Fairy Bower - **state**: QL - **country**: Australia - **location**: Victoria Park, Rockhampton - **lat**: -23.435408868849 - **long**: 150.46127761728 - **full address**: Victoria Park, Rockhampton, 11 Sturt Ct, Gracemere QLD 4702, Australia, Fairy Bower ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Sounds of Rock - Rockhampton - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events1/banners/79416056a3f932ddca3261839ead87187caad087e7018bba8339681aef0f6426-rimg-w668-h350-dcd8b888-gmir?v=1788191176 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is Sounds of Rock - Rockhampton being held? - **A:** Sounds of Rock - Rockhampton takes place on Sat, 05 Sep, 2026 at 12:00 pm to Sat, 05 Sep, 2026 at 12:00 pm at Victoria Park, Rockhampton, 11 Sturt Ct, Gracemere QLD 4702, Australia, Fairy Bower. - **Q**: Who is organizing Sounds of Rock - Rockhampton? - **A:** Sounds of Rock - Rockhampton is organized by The Aussie Bands Music Page. - **Q**: What has been the experience of attendees at The Aussie Bands Music Page's events? - **A:** Attendees have given The Aussie Bands Music Page a rating of 5/5 based on reviews from early attendees on AllEvents.
