Darwin Port Bandstand

Hear Festival Park come alive with a stellar NT lineup.

From an explosive opening night with the legendary Wirriŋga Band from Milingimbi community bringing their classic saltwater sound crafted over decades, to the technical prowess and smooth grooves of new local jazz cats, Lucky Find, there is something for all music lovers to enjoy on the Darwin Port Bandstand.

Instrumental hip hop from ZAZA ZOO will lift the energy and get the crowd moving, while singer-songwriters such as Emlyn Johnson, Emma Stocker & the Ever Stars, Maili Clarke and more share rich lyrical tales to brighten up your Festival evening.

Connect to Barkly Country with Harold Dalywaters and be swept off your feet by Darwin’s biggest and boldest young band The Melophobics at the LAUNCH Darwin Young Musicians Showcase.

It’s happening every night Festival Park is open – and it’s all FREE!
