Perform

Performer applications for 2025 have now closed.

Please read these notes before applying.

Please remember to include music samples. We would prefer a dropbox, google or similar but the music must be downloadable in order to distribute to the selection team. Soundcloud and similar maybe suitable but must be downloadable. You can also mail a CD if you prefer but you are at the mercy of Australia Post. Music samples should represent items similar to your anticipated performance. To clarify this point: If you’re applying as a solo performer, please don’t provide studio tracks with 5 backing musicians and lavish production, as its unlikely you’ll be able to duplicate this sound in a live, solo environment. In other words, we want to actually hear what our YFF audiences will hear on your demo.

Our address is Yackandandah Folk Festival, PO Box 98, Yackandandah, Vic, 3749 

  • If you have 4 or 5 special tracks to nominate to highlight your show, please indicate as a 20 track demo CD can be heavy going. One CD is enough.
  • Please keep photos to under 1 mb, we are not after high res at this time.
  • All performers will be either billeted or have a free camping space reserved. We cannot guarantee billets for families of performers. There is free camping for immediate families within reason.
  • Performers get free tickets. Partners, managers and touring personnel will be offered a subsidised ticket. Children under 16 are free.
  • If you have any essential care personnel, nanny etc, please tell us in the application.
  • As we usually get a last minute rush, you have a better chance of a good review the earlier you submit your application.
  • We try to notify successful applications in November.

Performer applications for 2025 have closed. Applications are open July to September each year
