**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."_
