hobofopo - HOBarts Original FOlk Punk Orgy - a 3-day folk-punk gig-crawl

HOBOFOPO is back again, having managed to pull heaps of the biggest names in folkpunk to hobart for our annual party for the past 8 years.

We're excited to showcase Apes Of The State and Pigeon Pit, both from the USA, and both for their first time in Aus.

You can buy tickets to individual gigs, or buy the festival pass (that's this ticket) which will get you into all of the hobofopo gigs (and it's about half the price of buying individual gig tickets.

the format looks a bit like this;

friday 24th

from 5pm - simple cider - paddy mchugh (qld), the dead peasants (vic), james brook (vic), daniel thomas (sa)

from 9.30pm - republic bar - the currency (vic), a commoners revolt (act), alegria (tas)

then late night club at twisted lime for tribute sets, where your favorite folkpunk acts cover their favorite folkpunk acts.

saturday 25th

from 2pm - hobart brewing co - the pbcbs (sa), quinton trembath (tas/vic), maddigans wake (vic), ragged hollow (tas), bushed poetry (qld) + more

from 9pm - simple cider - apes of the state (usa), a fistful of fiscal (tas), sooze (qld)

then late night club at twisted lime = jude joseph (vic) and late night open mic

sunday 26th

from 2pm - preachers - brodygreg (vic), hannah morrell (nz), eddy lawlor (nsw)

from 4.30pm - the mayfair - pigeon pit (usa), the stragglers (vic/tas/nz), the sketches (tas) + more

the late night club at twisted lime will have some of your favourite solo/duo acts, some tribute sets, and the legendary late night open mic.

after less accessible venues last year, we have tried to secure more accessible venues. with the exception of the late night club (twisted lime is upstairs), all other venues are wheelchair accessible, most have ambulant toilets, and some have seated areas with line of sight to the stage.

We want Hobofopo to be a safer space. No racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, or any other general dickheadness. So if you see anything wrong tell someone, then tell someone else.

We are on stolen land, sovereignty was never ceded. We pay our respects to elders past present and emerging.
