Blak Nite

The legendary Blak Nite returns to Carclew this May - in a powerful celebration of First Nations music, performance and culture.

Blak Nite 2026 will feature a dynamic mix of established and emerging First Nations artists, including performers from Carclew’s Gig Rig Tracks program, which delivers regional music and dance initiatives across Whyalla, Port Augusta and Ceduna,

Expect an exciting line-up of musicians, performers and dancers. Stay tuned as we reveal the full program of artists and performers - including the headline act - in the coming weeks.

Beyond the stage, Blak Nite will also feature visual artists, installations, makers and interactive workshops, bringing together a vibrant mix of creative practices. There will also be market and food stalls offering plenty of delicious options throughout the evening. 

Blak Nite is a celebration of First Nations culture, creativity and community - spotlighting powerful voices and creating meaningful opportunities for emerging artists to grow, connect and be seen.
