The Northern Territory’s “biggest cultural celebration” has finally announced its absolutely jam-packed 2016 program. This August, Darwin Festival 2016 will unleash an incredible string of performances, exhibitions, and events on the NT capital.
This year’s music lineup is one of the biggest in the festival’s history, topped by the legendary Midnight Oil frontman Peter Garrett, and boasting sets from the likes of Northeast Party House, Methyl Ethel, L-Fresh the Lion & Sampa the Great, and more.
“Australia’s North was a coastline of international trade for centuries before Captain Cook was born,” said Artistic Director Andrew Ross. “This Festival is a vibrant reflection of our international home, from the Philippines to Ireland and especially from right here.”
“During the Festival you can relish the very best the world has to offer. It’s fun, it’s reflective, it’s familiar and it’s surprising; it’s about being here in Darwin together at this moment in time.”
Head to the official Darwin Festival website for the full program and ticketing info. Tickets for Darwin Festival 2016 are on sale 12 noon Thursday, 23rd June.
