‘Tremendous support': Tickets sold out for Edmonton Folk Music Festival
A crowd enjoys the sights and sounds of Edmonton Folk Music Festival at Gallagher Park on August 8, 2024. (Brandon Lynch/CTV News Edmonton) If you were looking for a last-minute ticket to the Edmonton Folk Music Festival, you are unfortunately out of luck. The festival announced Tuesday afternoon that all personal passes and single tickets have been sold. 'We are so pleased with the tremendous support we've received over the past few years and particularly this year,' said festival producer Terry Wickham. 'We sold our last available ticket at 1:59 p.m. today.' But not all hope is lost. The festival has an official ticket exchange to buy and sell tickets that can no longer be used. Tickets are sold on the exchange at face value plus a service charge. Full festival passes and tickets for Saturday sold out just days after they went on sale in early June. The festival kicks off its 45th year Thursday evening at Gallagher Park.

Several Edmonton Folk Music Festival newcomers to take 2025 main stage
Ray Mitch & The Coal Miners and Stephen Wilson Jr. will make their first Edmonton Folk Music Festival appearance by taking the event's main stage this summer. The festival on Wednesday announced its full artist list and main-stage schedule for Aug. 7-10 in Gallagher Park. Several main-stage performers are returning guests – like Serena Ryder, Aysanabee, Allison Russell and Danielle Ponder – but organizers say 60 per cent of artists are new to Edmonton. 'Finding that balance of diversity and range with returning and new artists is always a challenge and this year I'm very pleased with where we landed,' producer Terry Wickham said in a press release. The lineup also includes the Blackburn Brothers, Charlie Cunningham, Jupiter & Okwess, Madi Diaz, Monophonics, Secondhand Dreamcar and Taj Mahal. The full list is available online. Only two main-stage performers had been revealed previously: The Roots and Mt. Joy, who will close Saturday and Sunday night, respectively. Tickets will go on sale at 10 a.m. on Saturday. Organizers said prices were not raised from last year's $234 for an adult weekend pass or $109-$115 for a single-day pass.
