The inaugural Mullum Roots Festival has revealed its much-anticipated program for 2025, headlined by iconic Australian acts The Waifs and Jeff Lang. The exciting line-up also features favourites such as Emily Lubitz, JB’s Blues Breakers, The Versace Boys, Shane Howard, The Soul Movers, and many more.
The festival will take place across multiple venues in Mullumbimby on July 12 and 13, offering two full days of exceptional live music and celebrating the best in original songwriting and performance.
In response to strong demand, single day tickets are now available, alongside full weekend passes, via the festival website: www.mullumrootsfest.com.
Festival Director Lou Bradley says: ‘We’re so excited to share the full program and incredibly proud of the calibre of artists who’ll be lighting up our stages in July. We’re keeping this first festival small and sustainable, with capped ticket numbers to ensure a relaxed, friendly experience for artists, audiences, and local businesses. We can’t wait to welcome everyone to Mullum!’
Adding to the festival’s fun and flair are two themed highlights. ‘We’re especially looking forward to Psychedelic Saturday at the Civic Hall, where Ellis D Fogg’s legendary light show will accompany performances from Robert Forster, Dog Trumpet, and Tamam Shud. Then on Hootenanny Sunday, we turn up the twang with a country-leaning line-up including Claire Anne Taylor, Clelia Adams, Rod McCormack, and Felicity & Josh. Bootscooters welcome!’ says Lou.
Festivalgoers can hop on the ‘Love Bus’ to travel between venues including the Civic Hall, the Bowlo, the Ex-Services Club, and the Courthouse Hotel, where performances will run from late morning into the night.
