After a quick tutorial from the Tamworth City Dance Academy, the couple hundred people taking part in the viral challenge were ready.
The dancers filled the area in front of the stage, got their hips wiggling and their phantom lassos twirling in the air to Blanco Brown's song The Get Up. See the full video above.
The Git Up Challenge was the perfect start to the Opening Concert which had a stellar lineup.
Hosted by Pete Denahy, acts at the concert included the CMAA Academy of Country Music, Buddy Knox Blues Band, Brewn, Zac & George, the 2019 Toyota Busking Champion Rhys Crimmin, popular duo The Long & Short Of It, 2019 Toyota Star Maker Blake O'Connor, and Golden Guitar winners Ashleigh Dallas, Lyn Bowtell, Andrew Swift and Adam Brand.
