Robbie Mortimer Named Face of 2027 Tamworth Country Music Festival
Robbie Mortimer joins Adam Harvey, Amber Lawrence and more as a 2027 Tamworth Country Music Festival ambassador, announcing his debut headline show.
Orange-born country-rock artist Robbie Mortimer has been named one of the official Faces of the Festival for the 2027 Toyota 55th Tamworth Country Music Festival.
The announcement marks another significant milestone for Mortimer, who joins fellow 2027 festival ambassadors Adam Harvey, Amber Lawrence, Max Jackson and Dear Tommie.
Mortimer will celebrate the appointment with his first ticketed Tamworth headline show, ‘One Hell of a Monday’, at The Longyard Hotel on Monday, January 18th, 2027.
The recognition represents a full-circle moment for the singer-songwriter, who was a Toyota Star Maker Grand Finalist in 2023 before pursuing music full-time.
“Tamworth has always meant so much to me. It's where you go with big dreams, a guitar and a whole lot of hope,” Mortimer said. “To think I was standing on that Star Maker stage just a few years ago, and now I'm coming back as one of the Faces of the Festival — it's pretty surreal.”
The announcement follows a milestone year for Mortimer, whose career has now surpassed eight million streams. His achievements include a No. 1 on CMT with “You Got That Love”, a sold-out hometown theatre show and appearances at major Australian country music festivals, including CMC Rocks and Gympie Music Muster.
His latest single, “Don't Wanna Wake Up”, arrived in October, continuing the momentum towards his debut studio album, scheduled for release in 2027.
Reporting from inside the Australian music business since '94.
Mortimer's upcoming Tamworth headline show will feature a full band performance, with support from Toyota Star Maker Top 10 finalist Bianca Joulianou and fellow Orange artist Scarlett Gee. A VIP acoustic Q&A and meet and greet will also take place ahead of the main performance.
“There's something really special about putting your own name above the door and asking people to come along for the ride,” Mortimer said. “I want people walking out of the Longford saying, ‘That was one hell of a Monday!’”
Looking ahead, Mortimer will release another single on January 29th, 2027, ahead of his debut album. An Australian headline tour is also in the works.
“We've worked incredibly hard to get to this point, but I've got this feeling we're only just getting started,” he said.
Tickets for ‘One Hell of a Monday’ are on sale now through Oztix.
