Fringe Westside 2025: Footscray Folk Festival

Next date: Saturday, 18 October 2025 | 02:00 PM to 07:00 PM

A music concert for all folks!

Wild At Heart presents the inaugural Footscray Folk Festival as part of Melbourne Fringe 2025. Join us at the Bluestone Church Arts Space for a magical afternoon of folk music from the best in the west.

Joining our lineup, on the back of their stellar debut album 'Weal and Woe' is Sibyl. Creating folk music that foregrounds fables of the spiritual and personal, they fuse jazz, alternative rock and pop sensibilities through a folk lens to create a fresh twist on a classic folk trio sound.

With them is Ruth Parker, who headlined a stage as part of Sydney Road Street Festival earlier in the year, and is fresh off the back of releasing her second LP 'Otherwise Occupied' to critical acclaim. Ruth's hauntingly beautiful voice paired with her poetic lyrics and signature fingerpicking style puts her up among Australia's finest folk musicians.

Other artists to be announced!!
