Artists such as Katie Jayne, Sarah McAdams and Brad Christmas entertained the crowd with country sounds on Friday.
The concert allowed locals, who might not have the chance to experience the festival in other locations across Tamworth, an opportunity to sing and dance along with upcoming artists.

Northcott's Sky Williams said the event was well received by the roughly 30 clients in attendance.
"Some of our customers can't really get out to the festival due to the heat or things like that, so I wanted to bring it to them," Ms Williams said.
"Everyone has been talking about it all week and have been very excited."
Ms Williams said the event would not have been possible without the generosity of the artists.
"I have known Katie Jayne for about 15 years and I reached out to her to see if she could help organise some artists," she said.
"She has done a fantastic job in rounding up some really talented artists to play for everyone, and we could not have done it without her.
"It really has blossomed and I have a five-year goal to hopefully make this event something that's quite large in Tamworth.
"My vision is for it to be for everyone with a disability in the region to come along, sing, dance and have fun.
"Hopefully it could become something that becomes big enough in the future that we will need to hire a venue."
Ms Jayne said she was delighted to help put the show together.
"To me, shows like this are always really special," she said.
"It gives some young, rising artists a chance to play and the audience is always really appreciative.
"I've had a really busy festival so far, but this has certainly been a highlight."
You can catch Katie Jayne at the Imperial Hotel and the Longyard Hotel during the final days of the festival.
