WELCOME TO THE BRITISH COUNTRY MUSIC FESTIVAL TICKET PAGE
We are back in Blackpool for the fifth edition of The British Country Music Festival.
A celebration of UK Country Artists, expect an eclectic mix of Country Americana and Roots music rubbing shoulders with singer-songwriters and storytellers. We have gained a reputation as a music discovery festival and for our broad and deep definition of what might be classed as Country Music. The quality of music always comes first.
Our festival is presented in four unique indoor music spaces, including the iconic Empress Ballroom. The weather cannot spoil the fun or the sound quality.
Early Bird Tickets are now on sale for 2024. When they are gone, they are gone. Ticket prices increase as we get closer to the festival dates.
Tickets & Shop
After the success of TBCMF 2024, we are delighted to create something for artists, fans and us to look forward to for 2025.
The British Country Music Festival is proud to support country music artists from the British Isles (including all UK countries and Ireland). We can hear a new sound, more nuanced, slightly subtler, slightly cooler being created by our homegrown talent. The Brits Are Coming!
You can expect headliners playing alongside established acts playing alongside breaking artists. You will experience an eclectic mix of music styles of country music and all its wonderful sub-genres. These including contemporary country, alt-country, traditional country, bluegrass, country pop, country rock, folk, country soul, blues and Americana. Whatever the genre, the music comes first.
The festival has a relaxed, informal atmosphere. You will soon be chatting with fellow fans or the artists themselves. Each stage has its own meet and greet area for artists to meet you directly after their performance for photographs and for signing merchandise.
Built-in 1878, our stunning indoor venue, the Grade 2*-listed Winter Gardens in Blackpool is the perfect stage to present a country music festival. Described as a pleasure palace, our five stages include the world-famous candlelit Empress Ballroom, the subterranean art deco Arena with its twin stages – acoustic and band- and the tented Pavilion Theatre with its promenading horseshoe.
All the rooms have options for sitting, standing or dancing.
Being indoors gives us lots of advantages. The weather won’t spoil the party, and you won’t have to trudge through mud to use temporary toilets.
As well as enjoying great company, a great line up and a stunning venue, all tickets are exchanged for wristbands that let you come and go as you please across the weekend. So you can take advantage of Blackpool’s seaside attractions and the world-famous illuminations.
We welcome you to TBCMF 2025, “Where The Lights Are Shining”.
See you in Blackpool from 29th to 31st August 2025
Best wishes
Martin & Marina
Please don’t hesitate to get in touch if you have any questions. Scroll down for ticket options.

A Country Way of Life
British country fans, not British fans of country music. There’s a distinction…. TBCMF is a fine addition to the UK country landscape, a complement rather than a rival to Country2Country
