Overview

NAIDOC Week, the annual celebration of the achievements and culture of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, is set to return this month from July 7–14, and Klub Koori is always a highlight of the week.

The mini-festival, which will take place on Saturday, July 13, promotes the talents of established and young Indigenous Australians artists to a large and diverse audience while also advocating for a broader appreciation of Indigenous arts and culture. For $15, you can expect a great mix of hard-hitting beats and sultry tones across the night, with things kicking off at 7:30pm.

This year's lineup is coming from the artists of Bad Apples Music, created by one half of the A.B Original duo, Adam Briggs. As far as we know for now Briggs himself isn't on the list, but a whole heap of upcoming Indigenous Australian talent is.

NT rapper BIRDZ, Nowra-born Yuin man Nooky and award-winning MC Philly are all set to take the stage. Locals, Gamilaroi artist Koibe Dee and R&B singer Rebecca Hatch, will also join the party.

Organiser Koori Radio 97.3FM has been on-air since 1993, offering listeners a 'live and deadly' cultural mix of Australian and International Indigenous music interspersed with discussions on news, current affairs and community information.
