Homeground Festival 2014
Showcasing Indigenous Australia's uniqueness, with Sydney Harbour as the backdrop.
Overview
With the Sydney Harbour as its backdrop, Homeground festival will debut at the Opera House April 5-6 as a celebration of our First Peoples' music and dance. It replaces the previous six-day multi-arts festival Message Sticks, aiming to come out swinging with more energy and focus.
Held across two stages along the western boardwalk, the free event will showcase a broad range of performers and challenge what you may think of as Indigenous arts. One of the most spectacular shows will get underway 9pm on Sunday with Australian songwriter Shane Howard, Amy Saunders, Emma Donovan and Yirrmal closing the festival at the waterside festival bar, Bar Badu.
Musicians Dubmarine, Steve Pigram, Shellie Morris, Casey Donovan, Moana and the Tribe (NZ), Breabach (Scotland), Djakapurra Munywarryun, Janawi dancers, Street Warriors, Still Gins, Ursula Yovich, Pirra, Jesss Beck, Bow & Arrow, Marcus Corowa and Thaylia have also joined the lineup. Dancers Move it Mob Style, NAISDA, Wagana Aboriginal Dance Group, Eric Avery, Thomas E.S Kelly & Dancers and international guests will also entertain audiences over Saturday and Sunday.
Homeground will ultimately showcase Indigenous Australia's uniqueness and cultural diversity to audiences. Head to the website for the full program.
