Tjaka @The Gaso (Upstairs)

Hot off the back of a huge 2023, Tjaka aren't slowing down in 2024 with their first Aus tour!

Having played Splendour in the Grass (RIP), Dark Mofo, BIGSOUND, and in front of 30,000 people at Taiwan's PASIWALI Festival, Tjaka have proved to be a must see act whenever, and wherever they play. Brothers Geoff and Jake Fabila are descendants of the Jabirr Jabirr tribe in the WA Kimberley and, joined by best mate Felix Fogarty, this Brisbane/Meanjin-based trio fuse electronic beats and lava-hot rap flow, which melt audiences in a crucible of funk, reggae, and dance. Tjaka's high-energy bangers introduce the use of Didjeribone (a slide didgeridoo, similar to a trombone), ripping guitar solos, and the deep sounds of the FaceBass to create a contemporary Indigenous experience like no other.

After some time away to breath and grow, PHILLY is BACK - better than ever! An electrifying performer and proud Wemba Wemba man hailing from Mildura, Victoria, his talent as a rapper and songwriter needs no introduction. Determined to use his voice to make change and inspire young people, PHILLY weaves powerful storytelling with dynamic beats, shedding light on the struggles and triumphs of his community. Known for his huge live performances, get ready for an unforgettable experience as PHILLY takes the stage, blending traditional influences with contemporary soundscapes to create a unique and compelling musical journey.
