Floriade‘s musical offering is back for another year with a smorgasbord of sounds hitting their various stages throughout the week. Head down to Commonwealth Park to catch singer-songwriters, big bands and everything in between.
A host of local musicians will be paying tribute to a fallen icon on Friday night when MF Doom A Live Tribute arrives at Smith’s Alternative. Often described as ‘your favourite rapper’s favourite rapper’, expect to hear MF Doom’s discography reimagined in a full band setting.
Elsewhere, Dallas Frasca will be celebrating the release of her latest album, Force Of Nature, at Smith’s on Saturday, and Gang Gang will welcome an eclectic lineup of DJs for Day Three, also on Saturday.
