HOBOFOPO2025 - the final gig, featuring Rent Strike (usa)

HOBart's Original FOlk Punk Orgy - 25 acts over 3 days. 

This ticket is only to The Mayfair, Sunday evening. Consider getting the festival pass, it'll score you a wristband to get you into all of the gigs, or the Sat/Sun pass.

This is our ninth time, so you know the drill. It's where all of your favourite; celt-punk, rogue-folk, boozy-bluegrass, anti-folk, anarcho-acoustic, and whatever subgenre fits anywhere between 'folk' and 'punk', acts descend on Hobart for one weekend.

The shows are within walking distance, and no shows overlap, so you can crawl your way through all 25 acts from Friday evening through to Sunday night. 

Sunday 30/11

*There will be a free gig prior to the Mayfair, so check this on your way.

2-4.30pm  at Preachers

Impeach Churchill! (vic/tas), Hannah Morrell (nz), Beth Seymour (vic)

5-9pm at The Mayfair

Rent Strike (usa), Trauma Cats (nsw), Crusty Fox and the Deadmans Undies (nz/tas), A.C Saunders (vic), Clover Love (qld). then acoustic jams from 9pm to midnight.

Accessibility - we have tried our best to select accessible venues where possible. 

Sunday arvo, Preachers - stairs at the entrance, ask staff to allow access to an alternative access point with less stairs/inclines, toilets are through narrow doorways/passages which may not suit some people, some lower stimulation areas and some seated areas with line of site of the stage are likely.

Sunday evening, The Mayfair - two small stairs at the entrance, ask staff for assistance as lifting a wheelchair over these stairs is usually easier than setting up a ramp, venue toilets down a steep stairway however a public toilet is nearby within the same building complex which is fully accessible, some lower stimulation areas and some seated areas are likely, seated ares with line of site of the stage are likely depending on the positioning of the crowd.

Under18s - We do not have an all ages show this year, however u18s may attend HBC and Preaches if they are situated in the 'beer garden' areas and not the 'bar' areas, and are supervised by a parent or legal guardian at all times.

*Note that both the u18 and the parent will need to purchase tickets.

We want Hobofopo to be a safe 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.
