Dishing up one of their best artist announcements to date, Fremantle Festival has enlisted the likes of Powderfinger’s Bernard Fanning, Dan Sultan, some stellar locals, The Drones and more to partake in this year’s event.

The ten-day program will cover off visual art and theatre as well as music, with Fremantle Town Hall, Fremantle Arts Centre and St John’s Anglican Church being activated as of Oct 28 for more than 40 events rolled out across the festival.

Fremantle Festival will also welcome back local legend Abbe May’s Tonight Show and engaging appearances from C. W. Stoneking and Stan Grant with Talking To My Country, among new concepts that connect the local community with creativity.
