JUST ANNOUNCED! Port Fairy Folk Festival today announced an exciting and global line-up for 2025, with renowned folk musicians from around the world ready to descend upon the stunning seaside destination of Port Fairy over the March long weekend.
The 48th Port Fairy Folk Festival is shaping up to be an enticing musical fusion of international and local artists, with fresh faces and returning artists destined to bring joy to the Festival’s devoted and music-loving audience.
Coming in from Scotland, it’s a big welcome back to festival friends Skerryvore, while alt-country-desert-noir band Dean Owens & The Sinners will make their Port Fairy debut. En route from Ireland are Niamh Bury with her sun-drunk folk style and Síomha (pronounced Shee-Vah) and her folk-jazz-neo-soul songs, both on their inaugural Port Fairy voyages.
From the USA comes the silky melodies and warm harmonies of The Brother Brothers, charming Americana star Hannah Aldridge, and Throwing Muses folk rock legend Kristin Hersh. Across the border, our love of Canada’s favourite folk group The East Pointers continues, and we can’t wait to have them back in Port Fairy!
The Festival continues its love of ‘70s style traditional singer-songwriter artists with Katie Spencer and John Smith returning with their stunning finger picking style and graceful tones from England.
Back at home, Port Fairy Folk Festival is honoured to have Missy Higgins, Little Quirks, Chikchika, Hana & Jessie-Lee’s Bad Habits, Uncle Kutcha Edwards, Lian Husi Timor and Mick Thomas’ Roving Commission sharing their songs and stories across our stages.

Justin Rudge, Port Fairy Folk Festival Program Director said this first line-up for the 2025 event covers many genres and styles but is drawn from the festival’s roots.
‘Our audience is the inspiration behind this first artist line-up for 2025. These first 17 artists span many genres, but are united in their passion, creativity and joy – which is what we want to share with our Folkies. From the exquisite fingerpicking style of John Smith to the wonderful ballads of Missy Higgins, we will have a program for everyone. Great music, great experiences and great musicians are at the heart of this festival – book a ticket!’ said Justin.
Port Fairy Folk Festival takes place in Port Fairy, Victoria from 7 – 10 March 2025.
Early Bird tickets are available now. To discover the line-up and to book your ticket visit portfairyfolkfestival.com

My nickname is “The Amnplifier”. Why? Because around here my focus is on being a conduit for providing greater outcomes that people come here for. My day to day “work” is living in the moment, and I love helping others concentrate on finding their connection to themselves through their experiences.
Why start a music environment? The truth is I love music, I love writing, and I love life. I work with musicians every day, and I feel certain that I will be until they put me in the ground. I have been managing people in businesses of some sort for over thirty five years so along the way I have developed some “wisdom” from my regular and constant “observations”.
Amnplify your experience. That is what we want you to do here, and if you want to let me know why you do, or don’t, shoot me a message on Facebook.
Hope you enjoy yourself here and find something that hits you somewhere.
