About Formidable Vegetable

A permaculture dance band equipped with a wheelbarrow-full of tasty swingfunk beets, brass, strings and the ukulele of abundance, Formidable Vegetable enrich the soil of our minds and plant seeds of inspiration at every festival, fair and farmer’s market they perform at. Having toured to over 20 countries and with seven records under their belt, the band is paving the way for an entirely new kind of creative action for composting problems and growing abundant, community-scale solutions in their place. Over the past decade, they have become a favourite around Australia and on international festival circuits, having played at some of the biggest events on the planet such as Glastonbury and the UN's World Food Forum alongside monumental acts such as Radiohead, Tame Impala, Dolly Parton and The Rolling Stones.
