Bayleys Tussock Country - New Zealand's Country Music Festival is an annual event held in Gore, Eastern Southland.
It brings the surrounding rural community and the New Zealand country music community together for ten days and 60+ events celebrating music, food, rural life, entertainment and comradery.
2024 will again play host to long running events including the MLT NZ Gold Guitar Awards, the Gore Country Music Queen competition and Freeze Ya Bits Off Busking.
Secure your ticket for the festival's gala evening, Country Music Honours. It’s authentic songwriting on show, celebrating musicians telling uniquely Kiwi stories.
Try your hand at a new skill with a variety of beginners workshops on offer or be the first to hear some of Aotearoa's up and coming talents playing live on the Tussock Stage.
Connect with Eastern Southland's rural roots on the much-loved farm and mai mai tour, or celebrate the vehicles, mullets and dogs at the annual Ute Muster.
Bayleys Tussock Country Music Festival supports dozens of community groups, hundreds of artists and entertains thousands of patrons every year. It’s welcoming, well organised and represents all that’s wonderful about heartland New Zealand.
