Australia’s largest music festival, the Toyota Country Music Festival Tamworth will feature one of the biggest line-up’s in the Festival’s history in 2014. The Festival will host over 800 performers at some 4,000 shows across 10 huge days.
Internationally renowned and award-winning country music trio The McClymonts entertained the crowd, and ‘Wildfire’ the 1,200-kilogram Brahman Bull, who is a regular at the Festival, made the journey to Martin Place especially for the launch as a sign of the size and diversity of the Festival.
Member for Tamworth Kevin Anderson said the Festival was one of Australia’s most iconic events.
“As the capital of country music in Australia, Tamworth has a long and proud association with country music and our community is looking forward to again hosting the festival next year for the 42nd time,” Mr Anderson said.
“The enormous number of visitors coming to Tamworth during the event doubles the city's population and brings significant economic benefits to the region.”
Minister for Tourism and Major Events, George Souris said: “The NSW Government, through its tourism and major events agency, Destination NSW, is proud to support the 2014 Toyota Country Music Festival Tamworth.
“Next year, an estimated 50,000 people are expected to visit the festival daily, which will provide a welcome economic boost for the local community.”
A bronze statue of country music’s first couple, Slim Dusty and Joy McKean will be unveiled in Tamworth this January. A Slim Dusty Tribute Concert is also planned and an exhibition of Slim’s famous memorabilia will be on display.
The Toyota Country Music Festival Tamworth 2014 will be held from Friday 17 January to Sunday 26 January.
