Tamworth Country Music Festival

Overview

Delayed from its usual January dates, the most important event in the Australian country music calendar is back this April. Over 100 venues will be hosting performances from some of the genre's biggest names, such as Amber Lawrence, Kasey Chambers and Troy Cassar-Daley, for the Tamworth Country Music Festival. It's a great all-ages event, too, with things to see and do throughout the whole town, including rides at Family Zone and shows at Toyota Park, both of which are free to enter.

The festival is also the home of the Golden Guitar Awards, the biggest prize in Australian country music, which this year celebrates its 50th anniversary of handing out the eponymous statuettes to the best artists of the previous 12 months.
