Port Fairy Folk Festival has announced even more exciting local and global artists for 2025!
New announcements include one of Australia’s most renowned musical figures, Peter Garrett with his band The Alter Egos. At their side will be fellow local artists Andrea Kirwin and Claire Evelynn, Gusto Gusto, and Meghan Maike & The Cactus Flowers, plus exciting young folk-country star Jenny Mitchell from just across the seas in Southern New Zealand.
Blues legend Ruthie Foster returns, and fellow US singer/songwriters Jon Muq and Simon Joyner will play the Folkie stages for the very first time. On the back of her award-winning new album, indie-folk Londoner Bess Atwell will make her Australian debut, alongside Ireland’s 17-year-old country blues guitarist Muireann Bradley and fearless fiddler Clare Sands. And you won’t want to miss Scotland stars Talisk, fresh from making waves at the Cambridge Folk Festival!
Premiering on the Folkie stages is India’s wholesome bluegrass duo Grassy Strings, the joyful and uplifting music of Réunion’s Lindigo, and one of our favourite Canadian folk singers Old Man Luedecke. These fantastic artists join The Brother Brothers (USA), Chikchika, The East Pointers (CAN), Dean Owens & The Sinners (SCO), Hana & Jessie-Lee’s Bad Habits, Hannah Aldridge (USA), John Smith (ENG), Katie Spencer (ENG), Kristin Hersh (USA), Kutcha Edwards, Lian Husi Timor, Little Quirks, Mick Thomas’ Roving Commission, Missy Higgins, Niamh Bury (IRE), Síomha (IRE), and Skerryvore (SCO) who were announced in July.
