November 30th, 2024Big line-up announced for CresFest ’25

Artists for next April’s CresFest have been announced with a huge diversity of music and acts in store for the award winning folk and roots festival.

Headliners for the April 4-6 festival that’s set to transform the township of Creswick, range from Neil Murray, The Maes and Queenslands’ Joe Geia to Grace Barbe from the Seychelles, Grassy Strings from India and Kofti Kunkpe bringing West African grooves to the party.

Organisers say friend and subscriber offers are already proving very succesful with sales up on any previous year, and earlier this month they opened sales to the general public.

Alongside the concerts featuring a generous array of international stars and talented newcomers over the three days, festival-goers will also get the chance to participate in a packed program of workshops including singing, dancing and playing.

There’ll also be the chance to learn new skills and take part in an African Extravaganza when Kofi Kunkpe’s ensemble and the Creswick Drummers take over the centre of town.

Budding performers will also get the chance to enter the IGA Busking Competition for a chance to take home prizes along with the glory. Local players will be invited to perform with visiting professionals, in an inspirational two way collaboration.

Tickets and camping have now on sale now via the festival website, where the impressive diversity of music that will be on offer can also be perused at https://cresfest.com.au/.
