Tyla Rodrigues to play C2C Festival in March

Australian Country singer Tyla Rodrigues will make her UK debut at C2C Festival in March.

The rising star will play the festival stages at London’s The O2 from 13th to 15th March 2026. Rodrigues has been garnering attention following the release of her debut EP ‘Upon Reflection', which has amassed more than 1 million streams. Her singles ‘Hot & Heavy' and ‘By The Time It's Over' both impacted the Australian Top 20 national country music airplay chart; holding their positions for more than 2 months.

Rodrgiues secured a Golden Guitar nomination for Best New Talent plus nominations in the Countrytown Awards for Breakthrough Artist and Single of the Year. She has supported Dylan Gossett and James Johnston on tour and was invited onstage to sing with Noah Kahan during his AU dates. She played CMA Fest and Americana Fest in Nashville in 2025 and has spots on major festivals this year.

Signed to ABC Music, she recently released a taste of her new music with the EP, ‘Hold On Tight'. Produced with Jared Adlam (James Johnston/ Travis Collins), the four track EP includes songwriting credits with Rodrigues and Nashville based songwriting talents: Jordan Dozzi (Big Loud), Jesse Dozzi (Lily Publishing), Sinead Burgess and Blake O’Connor. The new focus track on the EP is “Can’t Keep Doing This”.

As Rodrigues describes the EP, “'Hold On Tight' takes you through the journey of stepping forward and embracing what comes with the journey – the fun, the fight, and the uncertainty of what’s next all while keeping hold of who you are and what you believe in.”

Describing the new single, she says “We’ve all been there, promising ourselves we’ll change – then finding ourselves back in the same old places. “Can’t Keep Doing This” is a relatable country confession about late nights, small-town bars, and the moment you realise the habits you laugh about are starting to catch up with you.”

An artist with her roots deep in traditional country music, Rodrigues, at just 22 years of age,has quickly become a sought-after performer at some of the most prestigious festivals. In 2026, she is already slated to appear at Tamworth Country Music Festival (headline show), Howlin’ Country Festival and CMC Rocks in Australia, as well as C2C in Europe.
