In Conversation with Henry Wagons - Country Music Futures Forum

AIR is delighted to announce we will be returning next January to the Tamworth Country Music Festival as part of the Country Music Futures Forum with an In Conversation with Henry Wagons on Thursday January 22nd 2026 at 10 am.

Tamworth Country Music Festival is the beating heart of Australian country music — from rising stars busking on Peel Street to headline acts lighting up the stage. It’s where artists and fans come together in a celebration of the genre’s past, present, and future.

But Tamworth isn’t just about the gigs — it’s also a chance for the industry to connect, learn, and grow. That’s why APRA AMCOS created the Country Music Futures Forum: a dedicated space for artists and industry professionals to share insights, build networks, and explore opportunities in Australia and beyond.

With panels tailored to every stage of an artist’s journey — whether you're heading to Nashdale or Nashville — CMFF is your chance to gain the tools and knowledge to take your career further. It’s also a moment for the broader industry to tap into the momentum of country music and help shape its future.

Join us to listen, learn, and leave inspired.
