Port Fairy Folk Festival Program Director Justin Rudge 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,” Justin said.
“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!’ he said.
Port Fairy Folk Festival takes place in Port Fairy, Victoria from 7 – 10 March 2025.
