Where to hear live folk and roots music in Australia?

In weekly folk clubs and acoustic rooms, regional halls and bush dances, published sessions, community radio, and the festivals that gather those rooms once a year. There is no single national venue list that stays true. Start with a club or state folk federation that publishes a future date, then confirm the door on the day.

Pick a city or region first. Search for a folk club or presenter that names a weekday. Check whether the night is a concert, a session, or a dance.

Folk Magazine does not publish door prices or a hall-of-fame venue ranking. The longer method is on the artists hub.
