BAYKER BLANKENSHIP (USA): RISING COUNTRY STAR RETURNS TO AUSTRALIA FOR THREE SPECIAL SHOWS THIS DECEMBER FOLLOWING DEBUT PERFORMANCE AT CMC ROCKS QLD
“Bayker Blankenship’s Australian Debut Was One Hell Of A Ride” – CountryTown
After making a stand-out debut at CMC Rocks QLD 2026 earlier this year, Frontier Touring is excited to announce 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.
Kicking off the tour with a show at Sydney’s Metro Theatre on Thursday 10 December, Blankenship then heads to Northcote Theatre, Melbourne on Saturday 12 December before a final show at The Tivoli, Brisbane on Sunday 13 December.
Frontier Members can access their presale from 12pm AEST on Thursday 20 August, before tickets go on sale from 1pm AEST on Friday 21 August.
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.
“Australia made a huge impression on me the first time around,” says Blankenship. “Australian people really love music. I feel so at home there, and I wanted to come back as soon as I could. Plus, they have really good coffee.” – Bayker Blankenship
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.
Returning to the studio to work on his first full-length album, Australian fans will be among the first to hear previews of brand-new tracks when he takes to the stage this December.
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.

Playing a variety of instruments (in an extraordinarily mediocre way), I discovered that my passion for photography and writing is better than my playing ability and some of the songs I have written. Lover of all styles of music and anything I can tap badly held drumsticks to.
