Peter Garrett is one of our most prominent living Australians and very rarely performs in a pub. Whilst the new year sees him take over Port Fairy Folk Festival from 7 – 10 March, the additional Barwon Heads show sees the legend play songs from across his Midnight Oil and solo catalogue.

A renowned activist, former politician, and lead singer of Midnight Oil he is a long-time campaigner on a range of local and global issues including improving the life opportunities of Indigenous Australians, ending the climate crisis, and the AUKUS agreement.

In March 2024, Peter Garrett released acclaimed new solo album The True North recorded with his band The Alter Egos (which includes Martin Rotsey from the Oils on guitar). A deeply personal reflection on his singular journey, drawing inspiration and sustenance from the living colours of Australia’s natural environment and the sights and sounds of modern Oz, the album debuted at #1 on the ARIA Australian Artists Album Chart.
