Festival Information
All roads lead to Tamworth in January for the annual Tamworth Country Music Festival from Friday 20 January to Sunday 29 January 2012. It’s the largest music festival in the southern hemisphere and one of the top 10 in the world.
The variety of country music is endless during the festival with over 2,200 events and 4,000 different performances or gigs in 80 different venues. There are over 600 buskers in Peel Street alone, providing a diverse range of entertainment each day – it’s no wonder we attract over 50,000 visitors.
The pinnacle event of the festival is the CMAA Country Music Awards of Australia, when the who’s who of Australian country music gathers with country music fans to see who will win the famous Golden Guitar Awards. The Awards are held on the second Saturday of the festival at the Tamworth Regional Entertainment and Conference Centre.
