Homeground Festival 2014
Sydney's free two-day celebration of Indigenous music and dance returns to the Opera House.
Overview
After a successful debut last April, Homeground music and dance festival returns this month with a new and exciting lineup celebrating both the traditional and contemporary faces of Indigenous culture.
Featuring as part of Corroboree Sydney, the free two-day event will take place once again along the boardwalk of the Opera House, kicking off with a modern day corroboree bringing together the welcome traditions of the Aboriginal, Moari and Fijian peoples.
Performance highlights include Dan Sultan, headlining the Saturday evening, as well as Canadian folk-rock duo Digging Roots, 18-year-old self-taught guitarist Chris Tamwoy and the high-energy fusion dance of Brisbane’s Aboriginal Centre for the Performing Arts. The festival's Sunday session promises more acclaimed indigenous talent, including electro-soul group Bow and Arrow, actress and singer Ursula Yovich and stand-up comedian Sean Choolburra.
Plus, a host of pop-up bars and eateries will take you from lunch to late-night drinks, with performances extending well into the evenings.
See the Homeground Festival website for performance times and details.
