After making a stand-out debut at CMC Rocks QLD 2026 earlier this year, rising star Bayker Blankenship will return to Australia for his first-ever headline run, bringing his distinctive and down-home voice for a series of intimate headline shows this December.
The Livingston, Tennessee native has emerged as one of country music’s fastest-rising new voices, earning overwhelming attention for his gritty vocals, honest songwriting and captivating live performances, as well as for his break-out platinum-certified smash “Maxed Out”.
Blankenship will showcase his authentic brand of country music during his December dates, giving fans the chance to experience the 21-year-old singer-songwriter in a headline setting for the first time, featuring the songs that introduced him to Australian audiences including ‘Maxed Out’, ‘Jailbreak’, ‘Sunday Supper’ and ‘Thinking of Me’ as well as new music that continues to build momentum back home in the States.
Blowing crowds away at the 2026 instalment of CMC Rocks QLD, it was the furthest from home Blankenship had taken his music and was met with the roar of fans belting out hit tracks word-for-word. With his sets becoming some of the most talked-about across the weekend, this debut Australian visit marked a significant milestone in the young singer’s career.
Now returning to Australia less than 12 months after his debut visit, expect a live experience of powerful vocals, emotive storytelling and true musicianship - a monumental moment in the rise of Bayker Blankenship.
