MONA Wants to Fly You and Your Mates to Its Summer Festival for Free on Its New Airline Air Mofo
It's giving away Mona Foma festival tickets and airfares for you and five mates — and it won't be an ordinary flight, either.
Mona Foma is making the huge move from Hobart to Launceston in serious style — by giving away free airfares and three-day festival tickets to an entire Air Mofo plane worth of lucky, lucky festivalgoers.
The 'private airline', a collaboration between Mona Foma and Tourism Tasmania, will exclusively service competition winners for MONA's summer festival. Seats will be given away in rows of six, so your five closest mates will be given the deluxe treatment, too. The airline will fly from Adelaide, Brisbane, Sydney and Melbourne, with winners arriving in Launceston for the start of the festival — around noon on Friday, January 18.
Expect more than just your average plane ride on board Air Mofo. "It's going to be like the festival — it'll be weird, there'll be good food, great booze, and some confronting in-flight entertainment that probably can't be unseen," says Mona Foma curator Brian Ritchie.
Mona's summer festival will take over Launceston from January 18–20 and the lineup boasts everything from real human body parts on display to a onesie exhibition, with free tickets offered to the local Amish community.
Music highlights include Swedish star Neneh Cherry, Welsh electronic music icons Underworld and Tassie's own Courtney Barnett, plus a Mona Foma exclusive: a four-part performance by producer and composer Oneohtrix Point Never and the MYRIAD ensemble, framed from the perspective of an alien intelligence in an unlovely combination of medieval folk, dance music, R&B, and sci-fi imagery. You can check out more festival highlights over here.
Head here to enter the competition. The otherwise standard form includes the question, "tell us in 25 words or less why you and your five fellow Mofos need to party at Mona Foma in Launceston". Needless to say, it's best to nail that answer if you want those tickets.
Three-day festival passes are also on sale now — this year priced at $99 for the weekend. And, if you're looking for other ways to enjoy the festival's new surrounds, check out our weekender's guide to Launceston during Mona Foma.
