note, this has been moved from the goods shed to literally next door, to the Hobart Brewing Co beer garden. with a mixed bag of folk and punk, plus the headline act The Taxpayers
Before buying the ticket to this gig, consider if you'd rather get the festival pass ticket ($66.6) which will get you entry into all of the HOBOFOPO events happening over the weekend (and priority access to the late night club).
Over the last 9 years HOBOFOPO has hosted all the big names of folk-punk; AJJ, Days N Daze, Crywank, Apes Of The State, Pigeon Pit, Sydney City Trash, Crooked Fiddle Band... the list goes on... but the question begs, what folk-punk band is left, who could they possibly get to match such calibre? Well we're pretty chuffed with our 2024 headliner, legendary genre-bending (yeah you'll hear swing/indie/ska/cacophony/blues/punk all mashed together) act The Taxpayers have come out of hiatus, and will grace our shores for their first ever show outside of USA/Canada.
The Taxpayers are a long-running experimental DIY genre-bending punk band that started in Portland, Oregon in 2007. After an eight year hiatus, The Taxpayers are back selling out shows all across the USA and watching their spotify stats snowball from 500k/monthly listeners to 1mil.
Their acclaimed 2012 concept album about the rise and fall of a fictional baseball player, "God, Forgive These Bastards" was widely considered one of the best albums of the year, it features the song "I Love You Like An Alcoholic" and was even turned into a musical stage production.
HOBOFOPO will be the band's first stop on their whirlwind tour of Australia in November 2024.
Main support act will be Gusto Gusto (VIC) who have recently returned from Glastonbury festival and a UK tour to release a new album. They will deliver some lively and danceable manouche jazz and manic folk, and are preparing to be the best dressed band at a folk-punk festival.
Also on the bill are; local punk rockers Müttley, Celt-rock from Captain O'Brien's Craic, Alegria, Hannah Morrell, Willow Nischler, and more.
including an acoustic stage for back to back music for 8 hours.
u18s are permitted if accompanied by a parent or legal guardian, the parent needs to buy a ticket, but the u18 tickets area cheaper.
We have a noise curfew here (unfortunately there are apartments nearby), so we need to clear out at 10.30pm. But never fear, we will roll on to the late night twisted club and settle in for the evening (subject to capacity, and priority entry for HOBOFOPO festival pass holders).
Accessibility; The Goods Shed - we consider this venue accessible.
Wheelchair = access via ramps. Toilets = many easily accessible toilets. Chill/Overstimulation = quieter areas if you want to walk to the other end of the warehouse, or hang in the red square outside. Seated areas = we will put out chairs to provide a seated area with line of site to the stage.
We want HOBOFOPO to be a safe space. No racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, or any other general dickheadness. So if you see anything wrong tell someone, then tell someone else.
We are on stolen land, sovereignty was never ceded. We pay our respects to elders past present and emerging.
