The full line-up for the 16th edition of Mona Foma has been revealed, featuring hundreds of performers and artists.
The festival will run over three weekends from 15 February to 2 March 2024 in Hobart and Launceston.
According to the festival website, highlights will include performances by the TSO, Shonen Knife, Courtney Barnett and Paul Kelly.
A free concert at Launceston’s Cataract Gorge featuring TISM, Cash Savage and The Last Drinks, Mulga Bore Hard Rock and FFLORA x Grace Chia will also be held on Saturday March 2.
Minister for Stadia and Events Nic Street said Mona Foma has received $2.3 million per festival from 2022 to 2024 from the state government.
“The figures don’t lie, last year alone overall attendance for the festival was more than 40,000 including almost 20,000 sales for ticketed events,” he said.
“This is an impressive 65 per cent increase on 2022 ticket sales, and we want 2024 to be even bigger and better.”
Tickets for the festival, which promises unpredictable art, world premieres and unexpected venues, will go on sale from Tuesday 21 November.
