Celebrating a 40-year legacy, live!
One of Australia’s most successful musical acts, Yothu Yindi return to the Concert Hall for a special one-night-only performance.
In 2026, the band marks 40 years since its formation and 35 years since the landmark Tribal Voice album reshaped contemporary Australian music. From the anthemic power of “Treaty” to “Djapana” (Sunset Dreaming) and “World Turning”, Yothu Yindi blends Yolŋu culture and language with rock, pop and political storytelling. With eight ARIA Awards and induction into the ARIA Hall of Fame, their impact extends far beyond the stage.
Despite losing Dr. Yunupingu, founding singer of the group, in 2013, the band carries his legacy proudly with talented frontman Miritjnga (Rrawun) Maymuru, walking in his grandfather’s footsteps. The band recently released the single, “Mabo”, which has been praised for its catchy grooves and political message.
Now featuring original members alongside fresh talent from the next generation, the revamped supergroup of blackfellas and whitefellas from far North-East Arnhem Land continues to honour the music and movement of its founders and lives up to the spirit of intergenerational kinship of the band’s name (Yolŋu Matha for ‘child and mother’).
Nearly 30 years since they last performed at QPAC, don’t miss this rare opportunity to experience one of Australia’s most significant bands live!
Yothu Yindi is part of Clancestry.
