About - Tamworth Country Music Festival

The Golden Guitars are at the heart of it all - at the heart of the journey for both artists and fans alike. In an extraordinary year the Awards night will proceed as a live concert event and there are a small allocation of tickets available to the general public.

The pinnacle awards event for country music, this event is much more than just the presentation of the coveted Golden Guitars.

The night is a fast-paced concert, showcasing the cream of Australian country music artists and the songs that have left their mark on the fans throughout the past 12 months.

Commencing in 1973, the Awards are the nation’s longest running music awards and play a vital role in developing and promoting Australian country music talent.

In TRECC’s Cabaret Floor Mode with tiered theatre seating, the intimate configuration will be a night of non-stop entertainment and special magic moments you won’t see any where else.

Presented by Tamworth Regional Council and the Country Music Association of Australia (CMAA), The Toyota Golden Guitar Awards are the nation’s longest running music awards concert.
