Welcome back to the weekly album news! There have been a lot of exciting releases announced this week and there's a stack of news to get through so, here we go.

After only one week on sale, festival organisers have been blown away by how fast tickets are selling for CMC Rocks the Hunter 2012. Tickets are being snapped up in record numbers compared to any previous years and available festival camping sites are also disappearing quickly!

Less than a week ago, news broke that US megastars TIM MCGRAW and FAITH HILL (USA) will be headlining CMC Rocks the Hunter 2012. Now, Rob Potts Entertainment Edge, Chugg Entertainment and XYZ Networks have announced eight more big names who will be rocking the Hope Estate* over March 16 - 18 next year.
