Port Fairy Folk Festival 2020 just escaped the initial impact of COVID, with restrictions starting the week after that event.  An enforced break last year and now Australia’s second oldest gathering is about to celebrate its 45th anniversary over the March weekend in 2022 (11 to 14).

The line-up has been recently augmented and festival organisers announced acclaimed Mutti Mutti man, singer and songwriter Kutcha Edwards as its Artist of the Year and lo-fi folk-soul star Kee’ahn as its Emerging Artist of the Year.

Our partner website Listening Through The Lens will be covering the event and you can read their take on the 2020 festival HERE.
