Each year, the Tamworth festival attracts more than 50,000 fans from all over Australia.
Tamworth retiree Bob Green, 77, who has been volunteering as an assistant at one of the town's temporary campsites for eight years, says he's always shocked at the distances people drive to get to the festival.
"In the last two days I've checked in people from Western Australia, the Northern Territory, Queensland, Victoria …" he said.
