Woodford Folk Festival's Huge 2018/2019 Lineup Is Here

Queensland’s annual Woodford Folk Festival has unveiled its 2018/2019 music lineup, ahead of its return to the mythical Woodfordia this December.

Topped by the likes of The Cat Empire, The Waifs, Xavier Rudd and Kimbra, this year’s roster also features the talents of Dan Sultan, Jen Cloher, Julia Jacklin, Stella Donnelly, Alex The Astronaut, Screamfeeder and Remi — and that’s just the tip of the woodpile.

As always, this year’s event will also feature dance, cabaret, circus, comedy, workshops, debate, street theatre, films, forums, visual arts and an entire children’s festival just for the kids.

In total, over 2,000 performers will perform 1314 shows across 25 venues in six days.

Woodford Folk Festival will take place at Woodfordia (north of Brisbane) between Wednesday, 26th December and Tuesday, 1st January.

Peep the music lineup below, and the full festival program right here.
