Live music, sitting near a fire bucket with tasty local food and drinks is the ideal way to spend a chilly June night and in Forbes, NSW and we have created an entire event around this just for you. Frost and Fire 2025 is on Saturday 21 June and it has an amazing line up of international and local acts.
Forbes celebrates the winter solstice each year with a lineup of entertainment which in the past has included Sneaky Sound System, Vera Blue and Thirsty Merc.
Forbes Mayor, Phyllis Miller OAM has announced the headline acts, The Wolfe Brothers and Ripley Alexander who will join supporting artists Foxxy Cleopatra, Baker Boys and EasyGoin.
"I am so excited for Frost and Fire this year. I think we really have something for everyone at this Forbes premier destination event.”
“Where else can you find live country music like The Wolfe Brothers, an internationally renowned act, and jazz hits from the Baker Boys - all on one night?"
Alongside the great line up of music, the Frost and Fire crowd of 3,000 people will witness the spectacle of massive effigy bonfires lighting up the night, fire dancers, pyrotechnicians and performers moving through the crowd, a variety of other amazing live acts as well as an enormous fireworks display to end the night.
"In a time when so many festivals and events are being cancelled across the country, we are working hard to make sure we still have a strong regional event with live music, great food and plenty of entertainment. We encourage you, if you used to travel to one of the cancelled regional events, come on over to Forbes, because Frost and Fire never disappoints."
Nick Wolfe from The Wolfe Brothers loves playing to regional audiences and is already fired up about Frost and Fire.
“There’s nothing like a winter festival under the open sky, and we’re ready to bring the heat with a night of high-energy country and rock n roll. Frost and Fire is all about great music, great company, and the magic of a winter’s night in the Central West, and we’re stoked to be part of it. We love playing in regional Australia—it’s where we feel most at home, and the crowds always bring an unbeatable energy.”
Ripley Alexander, who thrilled Australian Idol audiences last year and has been described as a star on the rise, said he can’t wait to play at Forbes’ Frost and Fire in June.
“I am so excited to be playing with the other headline acts and I love the concept of this event. The idea of celebrating winter with live music next to a fire bucket sounds perfect to me”, he added.
