Sydney's Cockatoo Island is becoming 'Wednesday' Island, hosting a one-night-only fan festival dedicated to the Netflix hit.
Fresh from her fourth album 'Virgin' debuting at number one Down Under, the New Zealand singer has locked in her next Australian and NZ gigs.
'Eddington', Harris Dickinson's first feature behind the lens, the world premiere of 'Jimmy Barnes: Working Class Man' and plenty of international award-winners are also on the program.
As usual, you'll want to get in fast if you've been waiting for the roster of acts before buying tickets — the festival is already 95-percent sold out.
Organisers are promising that "some of the best artists in the world" will play one-off shindigs in "killer locations around Australia all year long".
Celebrate Australia's First Nations filmmakers with these potent westerns, horror standouts, coming-of-age gems, Top End rom-coms, outback noirs, and expressive dance flicks.
