True Vibenation

True Vibenation combines an irresistible blend of soul and afrobeat backed by big bass, big beats and live horns. Drawing from their African heritage and raised in the cultural melting pot of Sydney, their sound takes influence in equal parts from Masego, Burns Boy and rudimental as it does from FelaKati. Fat Freddys Drop and Outkast.

They have built a reputation as international party starters and ambassadors for Afro-Australian music, constantly touring across Australia, Africa, Europe and Asia including stages at Glastonbury, Brixton Academy, Subsonic and Womadelaide festivals. In their infectious live show all three members switch between singing, producing beats and blasting horns live on stage.

Their song ‘The World Is Ours’ hit #1 on Spotify’s UK Viral chart, and #4 globally, and ‘Squat’ with Haiku Hands soundtracked US TV show ‘Good Girls’

Supported by

Kopasetic

Kopasetic is an energetic indie-roots sextet from Canberra, dosing their audiences with earthy rhythms and earnest messages over a melting pot of modern rock-reggae, soul, blues and folk. The band thoroughly explores the limits of these genres, with bone-shaking off-beat grooves, psychedelic instrumentals and soulful ballads.

Kopasetic’s original music has seen the band booked to support the likes of Kim Churchill and Jeff Lang, tour nationally and internationally, as well as draw in local crowds to their original releases and headline shows of up to 200 (the Street Theatre) and 400 (Roots & Reggae in the Forrest – Corin Forest).

Create Collaborate Collective will be serving food and drinks through their Fundraising Bar with external food vendors providing yummy food for the evening. Details will be coming soon.
