The festival will run at Tumbarumba on February 26-27 after it only went ahead at the 11^th hour last year owing to the global pandemic.

Tumbafest president Andrew Rae said the 25^th festival would be one of the biggest yet.

"For this year's 25th anniversary event we are thrilled to announce such a star-studded line-up including one of Australia's leading performers Jessica Mauboy," he said.

"The event will be proceeding at the end of this month and there is already an incredible level of support for the event, given the hardships of the past few years and celebrating the milestone of the 25th anniversary event."
