The lineup for the 2024 edition of Port Fairy Folk Festival continues to grow. The latest additions include Icelandic singer-songwriter Svavar Knútur, Melbourne folk act The Maes, local singer-songwriter Isabel Rumble and plenty more.

The festival will take place on Victoria’s south-western coast from Friday, 8th to Monday, 11th March.
