$Drifting Clouds [NT] w\/ Bad Whip + Agapantha \u2022 ARRIVAL$

Arnhem Land’s Drifting Clouds make their Western Australian debut at ARRIVAL, led by Yolŋu singer, songwriter and keyboardist Terry Guyula.
Dubbed “the most chill band in Arnhem Land,” Drifting Clouds fuse 80s-inspired synth-pop, dreamlike funk, big saxophones and coastal grooves with ancient Songlines sung in Guyula’s first language, Liyawulma’mirr-Djambarrpuyngu. Rooted in the homelands of Bunhungura/Gapuwiyak, their sound draws on millennia-old Dreamtime stories refracted through contemporary textures and infectious, ethereal melodies.
Their gorgeous 2025 debut single Bawuypawuy wraps Arnhem Bay ocean Songlines in shimmering grooves and hypnotic vocals, establishing Drifting Clouds as one of Australia’s most unique and exciting new acts. They have performed at Meredith Music Festival, Yabun Festival, Party in the Paddock and St Kilda Festival, have supported Cut Copy and will perform their Sydney Opera House headline debut for Vivid Sydney.
Joined by improvisational instrumental dance duo Bad Whip + esteemed selector Agapantha (DJ)
