Country Roadshow 2021 coming to Tamworth in February 2021

The final show of a newly-launched travelling music festival, Country Roadshow 2021, will be played in Tamworth on February 27.

The star-studded line-up features Adam Brand, Travis Collins, the Wolfe Brothers, Jasmine Rae and the Buckleys.

After playing shows in Brisbane, Canberra, Townsville and Sydney, the mini festival will arrive in the country music capital.

Golden Guitar Award winner Adam Brand said the new event is something for audiences and artists alike to count down to.

"It's easy to feel the pressure and pessimistic with all this stuff going on around us ... so to have this really cool thing to look forward to and such a big event, it's just an amazing thing and I'm very proud to be a part of it," he told the Leader.

"I think you'll see a whole bunch of performers and musicians up there with beaming grins on their faces just at the fact we're back on stage doing what we love."

Brand said he's keen to tour with his "mates", and finishing off the mini festival in the home of country music feels right.

"Playing a show in Tamworth is just the cherry on top of the cake," he said.

Brand released his new album Speed of Life right before the COVID-19 lockdown.

For him, the roadshow will be one of the first times he plays those new tunes to a live crowd.

But, he plans on pulling out some old favourites for the audience to rock along to as well.

"I'll probably have to try and remember chords, remember words, I might be a bit rusty," he joked.

Tickets for Country Roadshow 2021 will be available on Ticketek from August 26.
