One of Australia’s
best celebrated events, TCMF will be held 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 theme for our 40th year takes its name from a great song
performed by Slim Dusty and written by Don Walker, "Looking Forward,
Looking Back."

Looking Back on YouTube
The variety of country music is showcased 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 is
no wonder we attract over 50,000 visitors.
With that many festival-goers, we highly recommend that you book your accommodation early.
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.
Tamworth Regional Council
is a key festival organiser by contributing major infrastructure for the annual
celebrations and works with various stakeholders to bring together the
festival. Scores of industry and city partners play a huge role in presenting
the festival line up each year.
