For country icon Lee Kernaghan, 2017 has been a massive year! Celebrating a milestone 25-years in the industry, including the silver anniversary of his debut ARIA-award winning album Outback Club, the Aussie superstar has spent a solid 12-months on the road, playing sold-out shows around the country. The Boys From The Bush 25th Anniversary Tour saw Lee travel perform in some of his favourite regional towns, some huge metropolitan venues and at some of Australia’s key festivals. The 2017 leg of the tour saw an incredible 25 sell-out shows – fitting for a 25th anniversary tour – wrapping up at The Palms at Crown in Melbourne with two packed houses on the weekend (November 17 & 18).

While some may kick their heels up and rest for a bit, that’s never been Lee Kernaghan’s style, so – due to popular demand – Lee is keeping the party going by announcing a swag of dates for 2018 to ensure The Boys From The Bush 25th Anniversary Tour covers as much of Australia as possible. Kicking off the 2018 dates at Tamworth Country Music Festival, the leg will include a host of other festival dates, as well as some more great suburban shows.

The Boys From The Bush tour features Lee’s classic hits, ballads and rural anthems that have won the country legend a nationwide legion of fans that he prefers to call ‘mates’. With 34 number one hits to his credit, the show celebrates Lee’s career, and even more than that – it celebrates the fans who have been there from the beginning – and joined in along the way.

Lee Kernaghan’s Boys From The Bush 25th Anniversary Tour is an unforgettable experience and a part of Australian music history! Book your tickets early and join the celebration of the epic career of one of this country’s all-time greats.

WEDNESDAY 24TH JANUARY – BLAZES AUDITORIUM @ WESTS

There is no question about it – The Wolfe Brothers 2018 Tamworth Country Music Festival show is going to be one hell of a party! Since launching their rockin’ Let’s Hit The Road Tour earlier in 2017, The Wolfe Brothers have been delighting audiences with all their hits, and a swag of new material, written during their Nashville trip mid-year. Now, the Tassie-favourites are bringing their Let’s Hit The Road show to the Tamworth Country Music Festival for one night only, before announcing more dates for 2018.

The Wolfe Brothers are one of the hardest working country rock bands on the Australian scene today. They haven’t stopped since they smashed onto the scene in 2012 – and they have no plans to start taking it easy. They’ve been out on the road consistently throughout 2017, either with mate Lee Kernaghan, celebrating his 25th Anniversary Tour, or with their own headline shows. The Wolfe Brothers have long been revered for their tight performances and affable approach, and their shows are always a huge party!

The band’s Tamworth Country Music Festival show is going to be something a little bit special. According to lead singer Nick Wolfe, they’ve got a surprise or two in store for fans. “With our new album getting closer and closer, those who attend our Tamworth show can expect an exclusive preview of the new material,” he says. “After all, what better place to road test new songs than in Australia’s country capital. We look forward every year to our Tamworth Festival show and we intend to give everyone who comes along a really good time! Jody Direen will be joining us too, it’s set to be a really great night!”

For bassist Tom Wolfe, getting back to Tamworth Country Music Festival is always a highlight for the band. “Our Tamworth show will be our biggest yet,” he says. “We will be debuting some new songs, and bringing a few special guests – I mean, anything can happen at Tamworth! Tamworth is a melting pot of the Australian country music community. We can not wait to be there with the heat, music and mates.”

The band’s trip to Nashville earlier in the year was a creative powerhouse. “The songwriting on this trip feels like we have stepped up another level,” says guitarist Brodie Rainbird. “We have spent so much time in Nashville over the last couple of years that it is our second home, and we feel very settled and relaxed there now. The past experience of writing the last album there has given us the confidence to approach these songwriting sessions with much more focus on what we want to achieve, in terms of a direction for the next album.”

The Wolfe Brothers most recent album This Crazy Life hit #2 on the ARIA country charts and has spawned three #1 singles, making it 10 singles in a row from the last three albums to hit the #1 spot on the country charts. Their latest smash – a duet with Lee Kernaghan on his single Damn Good Mates – has also spawned airplay around the country.

The Wolfe Brothers forthcoming, as-yet-untitled, fourth studio album is due for release mid-2018.

The Wolfe Brothers Let’s Hit The Road show at the 2018 Tamworth Country Music Festival will certainly be one to remember. The band will be joined by special guest Jody Direen. Tickets are on sale now.
