Darwin’s best Sunday Session!
Come and Jam on the First Sunday of every month at the PINT club!!

First Sunday Blues means dozens of players come down for a friendly and inspiring jam with a different house band each month. Musicians appreciate the low key high tech gig with Front of House PA mixed by a real sound engineer out the front.
The open mic has been a big hit so your need to put your name up on the board early, before 4pm. Young acts are encouraged to step up to the plate and will find a very appreciative crowd. First Sunday Blues is about encouraging new talent to have a go.
The blues was born 200 years ago, on the cotton fields and plantations of the Mississippi Delta. The music created by the Negro slaves to co-ordinate their work movements enabled them to express all the anguish and alienation they were feeling. From those beginnings, the blues evolved into music we hear every day.
First Sunday Blues provides a sound engineer, PA system & backline including drum kit, bass & guitar rigs. BYO instrument!

Catch Crystal Robins playing at the Darwin Ski Club

Wake up each morning to the sublime sound of violin and voice from renowned artist Eric Avery.

Eric Avery is a violinist, dancer and composer from the Ngiyampaa, Yuin and Gumbangirr people of NSW. He works with his family’s custodial songs and his haunting compositions often feature him singing while playing violin, predominantly in the Ngiyampaa language.

Morning Music has been recorded live and will be available online every morning at 7am to enjoy wherever your morning routine takes you (flat white optional!).

Housewarming is a free celebration and the whole family is invited. A stellar line-up of local artists will take to the stage, getting us back in the mood to listen close and let loose (distantly).

After a traditional Welcome to Country to set the scene, enjoy the sublime voice and violin of Eric Avery, a very special performance from Gary Lang’s NT Dance Company and the warm vocal stylings of the gorgeous Mandy Garling. Then, once the suns gone down, things get hotter still with the local drummers behind 2019’s spectacular Drumming Up The Storm bringing back their powerful Papuan rhythms for a much deserved encore, and longtime Darwin favourites Hotel Red closing the evening with a swinging set of soul, blues and funk.

Capacity is limited so come along early to secure your spot in front of the Sunset Stage and enjoy a range of food and drink available onsite. BYO cushion or picnic rug for your ‘bubble’ and kick back under the stars for a great night’s entertainment.

From 6-16 August Darwin Festival will bring you a range of accessible (free and low-cost) community activities, artistic actions and creative responses designed to generate that fundamental feeling of your much-loved Festival. There’ll be plenty of the things you love – just done differently.

Opening weekend highlights will include reimagined versions of the Darwin Aboriginal Art Fair, National Indigenous Music Awards and the 37th Telstra National Aboriginal & Torres Strait Island Art Awards Salon des Refusés – NATSIAA.

Stay tuned for more program details.

Join us in Festival Park for a feast of free music and entertainment on the Rimfire Energy Bamboo Bandstand.

Celebrate music from remote Australia in this double bill of top Arnhem Land talent.

Enjoy an electric show from legendary Red Flag songmen of Yilila from Numbulwar and all-female saltwater rock stars Ripple Effect Band from Maningrida.

Yilila is the creation of Ngulmiya Nundhirribala, an accomplished singer, songwriter, songman, dancer and ceremony leader. Together with Numbulwar’s next generation of talented musicians and members of his acclaimed Red Flag Dancers dance group, Yilila mixes traditional Red Flag songs and stories with high energy reggae and rock music. The Red Flag songs tell the stories of the Makassan traders who traded with the Numburindi people of South East Arnhem for hundreds of years. This new show features a selection of mind blowing new and ancient traditional Red Flag songs.

Ripple Effect Band are forging new ground as the first women from their community to play in a band. After turning heads at Barunga and Garma Festivals in 2018 and at sold-out tours of Melbourne and Mona FOMA in Tasmania in 2020, the band is excited to bring their music back to the Top End. Over the past year they have been spending time out on country with elders and community and are now ready to present new songs, new stories and new-found strength as women who rock the stage with confidence.

Darwin Festival 2020 is celebrating homegrown talent and we’ve asked a bunch of Darwin’s favourite musicians to each write a new song all about our town. Join us on the Sunset Stage as we close DF20 with one huge celebratory concert.

Caiti Baker, Arran Barker, Broadwing, Tracey Bunn, Ben Evolent, Mandy Garling, David Garnham and Stevie Jean have taken inspiration from their local neighbourhoods, houses, rooms and parking lots to create songs about love, loss, childhood memories and simply having fun. Share houses, family homes, rural areas, suburban life and city living – it’s all captured in Streets of Darwin.

Our collection of songwriters has created the perfect playlist to pay homage to the Streets of Darwin and you can experience it live on the closing night of this year’s Festival. Backed by a house band of local musos, each singer will also pick a cover from the Aussie cannon on the theme of home. Now that’s a night worth leaving the street for!
