Presented by THE EDGE Fest in partnership with Tamworth Regional Council, Tin Camp Studios & THE Hungry Spirit

COUNTRY is a beautifully curated, immersive music and storytelling experience at the Tamworth Country Music Festival — reimagining what “Country” truly means.

Country is not just a genre.
It is land, culture, memory, stewardship, and belonging.

This special one-off event brings together artists from rural, regional and remote communities across Australia and Aotearoa, sharing original songs that speak to their lived connection with Country - the places that shape us, hold us, and call us home.

From the street to the stage, COUNTRY creates a professional, respectful platform where grassroots voices meet seasoned performers, and emerging artists share space with cultural leaders - all on one stage, in one shared moment.
