Naysayers can folk off: the National Folk Festival has revealed its massive 2016 lineup.

With over 200 A-list acts included in its program, it’s safe to say that the National Folk Festival’s 2016 iteration is bigger than ever. International highlights include performances from Canadian troubadour Gordie Tentrees and acclaimed Scottish act Manran, while on the Australian front there will be showings from Aussie legends like Skipping Girl Vinegar and The April Maze.

That said, there’s far too many acts involved to list here, so all lovers of folk should head over to the festival’s website and start perusing names. Make no mistake: the Festival has moved from strength to strength, and has transformed into a very genuine folk force to be reckoned with.

The National Folk Festival runs from Thursday March 24 until Sunday March 28 at Exhibiton Park, Canberra. More information is available from the official website, here.
