KASEY Chambers is the headline act booked to perform at the Beef Australia 2012 Country Collaboration Concert.

The May 11 concert is part of Australia's national beef exposition, Beef Australia 2012, to be held in Rockhampton from May 7-12.

Beef Australia chairman Geoff Murphy described the booking of Chambers, Golden Guitar winner for best song Shane Nicholson and Rockhampton band Busby Marou as a major coup.

"Beef Australia 2012 is not just about showcasing the many new innovations in the cattle industry, it is also about celebrating together as a community," he said.

Tickets are available at the Beef Australia website.
