Event Overview

Following the hurt and division caused by the referendum’s defeat, this event offers a space for healing, dialogue, and celebration. Through powerful performances and shared experiences, it honours the roadmap laid out in the Uluru Statement from the Heart.

Leading the lineup is Electric Fields, the genre-defying electronic-soul duo known for their powerful fusion of Aboriginal language and cutting-edge sound. Joining them is Emily Wurramurra, the ARIA Award–winning singer-songwriter whose music blends folk, blues, and roots with the language and stories of her Warnindhilyagwa heritage, Jem Cassar-Daley the esteemed QMA Indigenous Artist of the Year recipient and local and emerging talents including Canberra’s own Monica Moore Band and more.

The event will feature a full day of music, amusement rides, market stalls, food, kids’ activities and interactive cultural experiences, bring along your picnic blankets and enjoy an entertaining day out in Commonwealth Park!
