Blak, Bold & Deadly is inspired by the 2025 NAIDOC theme The Next Generation: Strength, Vision & Legacy, and will honour the artists and ancestors who came before while shining a spotlight on the future of Blak excellence.
This is more than just a gig—it’s a space for connection, celebration, and empowerment. Through bold storytelling, and an immersive atmosphere, we’ll amplify First Nations voices and perspectives in a night to remember.
The celebration will start with a smoking ceremony at 6.30pm run by Layne Brown, proud Yuin man.
Line-up includes:
Zipporah
Cooee
Jacob Morris
Zoë Brown-Holten
Fancy (MC)
and more to be announced!
Artist Call out
We are seeking expressions of interest for two more emerging artists in music, dance, theatre, comedy, spoken word, or cabaret.

Continue the celebration with a First Nations Film Showing on Sun 24 Aug, 2pm.
