These pages have information about the annual country music festival held in Tamworth, Australia's Country Music Capital, every January.

The 2009 Festival runs from Friday January 16 to Monday January 26 with the Countdown running from Friday January 9 to Thursday, January 15.

For many people, the festival begins when the music does, and that's anytime from early January back to mid December when Festival visitors begin to arrive and take up residence in one of the local caravan parks.
