Toyota Tamworth Country Music Festival 2025
Friday 17 January, 2025 - Sunday 26 January, 2025
Australia’s largest celebration of country music and longest running Festival will return to the country music capital, in January 2025, with a huge line-up of artists and ticketed shows announced for the Toyota 53rd Tamworth Country Music Festival.
The Toyota 53rd Tamworth Country Music Festival will kick off on 17 January 2025 with the Opening Concert in Toyota Park – the Festival’s largest venue, which will see 10-epic nights of free entertainment including Americana In the Park, Toyota Best of the Buskers and the Toyota Star Maker Top 10 Grand Final, while Toyota FanZone will see hundreds of artists perform for free in the main Festival precinct.
The Tamworth Regional Entertainment & Conference Centre (TRECC) features the ‘star of the show’, the Toyota 53rd Golden Guitar Awards, celebrating the recording excellence over the last 12 months of Australasian country music. The hosts for the Golden Guitar Awards in 2025 will be two of country’s hottest dynamos, Max Jackson and James Johnston. Their combined energy is sure to make magic on the night.
While the rest of the world is just discovering how cool country music is, seasoned fans have requested that two of their favourites return on the same day and the same time as in the last few years. Troy Cassar-Daley, recipient of the most Golden Guitar awards, and Lee Kernaghan OAM will return to TRECC on Thursday, 23 January. Australian icon John Williamson will be kicking off his 80th birthday year with a special performance on Friday 25 January at TRECC.
Tamworth Country Music Festival is not just about the music. If it is some thrilling action that you are after then the Australian Equine and Livestock Events Centre (AELEC) will be the place to be with rodeos set to return on both weekends of the Festival. Tickets for these rodeos will be on-sale in the coming months.
The first line up of ticketed shows and the Toyota 53rd Golden Guitar Awards will go on sale on 8 July 2024, with hundreds more free and ticketed shows and venue line-ups to be announced in the coming months. To book and find out more head to tcmf.com.au/whatson.
