Fairport Convention mark their 60th anniversary with a landmark concert at Perth Concert Hall, part of the Perth Festival of the Arts 2027.
Fairport Convention play the Perth Concert Hall on Monday 24 May 2027, part of the Perth Festival of the Arts. It's a landmark date for them: the band is celebrating its 60th anniversary, six decades of British folk rock since they first started. The show is billed as a joyful reunion and a tribute to the enduring spirit of the music they've helped shape.
On stage is the current line-up: Simon Nicol, Dave Pegg, Ric Sanders, Chris Leslie and Dave Mattacks. They'll be joined by special guests, with the additions reflecting the group's long and storied history. The set sits within their wider 60th Anniversary Celebration Tour, a run of shows that stands apart from their separate four-week tour of England and Wales.
Fairport's legacy runs from electrifying folk traditions to genre-defining albums, and this performance marks the full sixty years. The current five are joined by guests who draw on that history, bringing back voices and instruments from across the band's long life. It's a night that looks back as much as it plays forward.
