The 2021 Tamworth Country Music Festival has been officially cancelled.
The Tamworth local council voted to suspend the festival on its 50th anniversary, flagging coronavirus health concerns.
The event brought about 40,000 visitors to the New South Wales regional city every year, contributing about $50 million to the local economy.
The Golden Guitar Awards, which are normally announced at the festival, are expected to go ahead in an online ceremony.
