Off the Grid 2016
An all-day music party completely off the grid.
Overview
Dance meets activism at Off the Grid 2016, an all-day party where the environment is on the agenda. Featuring an eclectic mix of local DJs, musicians and performance artists alongside speakers and environmentalists, this "solar powered celebration" promises more than ten hours of eating, drinking, dancing and discussion.
The fun begins at 9am this Wednesday, December 21 in the Australian Centre for Contemporary Art forecourt. The music lineup includes Andee Frost, Andras, Tako and J'Nett, as well as the internationally renowned Senegambian Jazz Band. Importantly, the sound system will be powered by a solar battery bank, while proceeds from the event will be invested in solar projects around town.
Speakers, meanwhile, will include Bronwyn Johnson from Climarte, Paul Gorrie from the Seed Indigenous Youth Climate Network, and State Member for Melbourne Ellen Sandell.
