Join Desert Festival for an uplifting Opening Night dedicated to the resilience and power of our region’s First Nations and female artists.
Welcome to Country & GUTS’ Brave Bodies
Commencing with a Welcome to Country, then a showcase from GUTS Dance Brave Bodies Dance Program. Since 2021 Brave Bodies have engaged 15, majority First Nations young femme and non-binary people once a week, learning various dance styles and techniques and bravely undertaking public performances at events around Mparntwe.
MusicNT’s Desert Divas
After a 6-week development season, hear and watch this year’s deadly Desert Divas own the festival stage and perform their songs to you. Each year we are blown away by these budding performers’ lyrics, musicality and stories shared from the heart throughout an intimate, family friendly showcase.

Then taking to the stage, are the Desert Divas’ superstar guest mentors:

Dallas Frasca
With a career spanning almost two decades, Dallas Frasca is a stand-out of her class, a charismatic force on stage, and an almighty presence on the mic. Dallas breaks away from her commonly known band rock project to mark the advent of her brand new ‘one-woman show’ format.
Emily Wurramara
We were first introduced to Emily back in 2016, when Australia fell in love with her natural storytelling and beautiful sound. She is an artist whose musical output represents a new era coming to life for Indigenous Australian musicians; and her impact was immediately felt.
Her latest album, Nara is a record five years in the making.
