Australian folk music heroes The Waifs are currently on their Up All Night 20th anniversary tour. They’ll be performing a very special show at the Canberra Theatre Centre on Thursday night with support from none other than Josh Pyke.
Powerhouse singer-songwriter Dami Im will be celebrating her new EP In Between with a Canberra show on Friday night. She’ll be presenting an intimate show at The Street Theatre with songs that explore identity, love and the singer’s transition into motherhood.
Festival 15 will be taking over The Basement once again on Saturday night. This one-of-a-kind festival will see 15 bands each playing a 15-minute set. It’s shaping up to be the perfect way to get acquainted with a whole cross-section of the city’s musical talent all at once.
