6) Midnight Oil: Makarrata Live
28th February

At each show, the band will be joined on stage by an incredible line up of First Nations collaborators for a unique concert event featuring music from their #1 mini album The Makarrata Project plus iconic Midnight Oil songs of Reconciliation from throughout their career. These gigs will seek to elevate The Uluru Statement From The Heart which calls for a Makarrata – or “truth telling” – to account for the theft of lands and displacement of First Nations people.
Why: A desperate attempt to remain relevant as bald and oily as the lead singer himself.

This themed throw down will be held at KEPK Studios, featuring house, tech house, progressive and a little dash of techno to help you shake off lockdown like you’re an illegal replicant in the sprawling city of Los Angeles in the year 2049!
Why: Because what we all need right now is the escapism of a dystopia.
3) Chasing Ghosts: Live
5th March
What: Summer is the first track from a forthcoming EP titled Homelands by Indigenous led punk-rock band Chasing Ghosts. Frontman Jimmy Kyle is a proud Koori man. A descendent of the Thungutti mob from the mid-north coast of NSW with a potent mind that he’s finally decided to speak. “I was scared to write these songs, because a lot of the topics are challenging,” says Jimmy Kyle. “But that’s how I knew I was onto something. It made me feel nervous.” Experience this killer band live.
Why: Get pissed and listen to loud music, whilst technically being able to claim you’re culturally woke and therefore morally superior to your friends and loved ones.

2) Darkworld Festival
6th March
What: This is DARKWORLD: a 1 day, indoor, multi-form festival all crammed into 12 hours at The Triffid. From the glowing exhibits of local visual artists, to the live art growing and swimming around you, DARKWORLD plans to render the iconic Brisbane venue, unrecognisable. Based on the proceedings of a music festival with 12+ bands the dance and entertainment is planned to keep you fully engaged from midday to midnight. Kicking things off in the 11am heat, sunlit strangeness will lead into a full afternoon of art & music creeping patrons through to an upside-down-world, Twin Peaks-like setting that comes to life at night.
Why: Sweat all over each other in a surreal, ominous orgy. Because 2020 just didn’t scratch that itch.
