Apply for 2025

The 52nd Auckland Folk Festival will be held on 24-27 January 2025. Performers and audience will come together again at the Kumeu Showgrounds on Auckland Anniversary Weekend.

We’d LOVE for you to join us in one of our venues/stages.

Most guest acts are asked to appear multiple times during the weekend – generally a 60 minute concert and a combination of smaller length concerts, collaborative workshops or masterclasses.

Performers are juried with regard to their quality of performance and versatility. Artists may be accepted for their ability to play a main stage show, lead an innovative workshop, showcase on an intimate side stage, or any combination of these.

Applications close at the end of June, and we will let you know if you are successful. We ask that you don’t chase your application as we often have a large number to work through.
