Red-hot line-up to mark Illawarra Folk Festival’s ruby anniversary

Key points

• The Illawarra Folk Festival will mark its 40th edition at Bulli Showground from 14 to 17 January, with almost 90 acts. The line-up includes 13 overseas acts, some of which have played at Glastonbury in England.
• Festival director Shane Moon said the milestone is special, given that many other music festivals have closed. A Le Ruby Ball on the Friday night will invite guests to come dressed in red.
• Music starts on Thursday 14 January with a charity concert, and Early Bird tickets are available now.
