A broadcaster will also be inducted into the Australian Country Music Broadcasters Hall of Fame.
The performers are all award finalists, and include Tracy Coster, Laura Frank, Tony Kennelly, Shaza Leigh, The Long & Short Of It, Brendan McMahon, Andy Penkow, the RnR Ranchgirls, Graham Rodger, The Silverline and Vixens of Fall.
The awards were established in 2000 to balance the numerous awards presented in country music, by giving ordinary people a say.
Tickets to the event, to be staged in Tamworth Town Hall, can be purchased from the Capitol Theatre Box Office, from the new Festival HQ next to the FanZone stage in Fitzroy Street, or online.
