Tamworth Country Music Festival 2022, Dates, Artist Lineup & Tickets
Hailed as country music’s ‘night of nights’, the Tamworth Country Music Festival attracts some of the biggest country music stars in Australia, and on the world stage. Artists that have performed at the festival in previous years have included Keith Urban, Olivia Newton-John, Tommy Emmanuel, Adam Brand, Troy Casser-Daley, Slim Dusty, Kasey Chambers, The McClymonts, Melinda Schneider, John Williamson and so many more.
There are typically over 2000 musical acts performing at over 100 venues throughout the festival and the main street, Peel Street, is shut down to make for pedestrian space. Here, you will find buskers, dancers and acoustic musical performances.
There is also a family zone which has heaps of stuff for kids to enjoy including a Ferris wheel, dodgem cars, bungy trampoline, jumping castle, hi swing and giant slide. The family zone also has fun carnival games and plenty of food and drink on offer.
Accommodation sells out quickly each year, so visitors planning to attend the festival should ensure that they book their accommodation early. Many people come to Tamworth and camp during the festival with plenty of spots available at Riverside Camping Ground, North Tamworth Rugby Club, Tamworth Greyhound Club and Paceway, just to name a few. Book early as camping spots will sell out.
