41

Tasmanian festival Dark Mofo has revealed its full program for 2023, with acts like Black Flag, Deafheaven, Thundercat, and Ethel Cain leading the lineup. Now in its tenth year, the infamous festival will take over Hobart from Thursday, 8th June to Thursday, 22nd June.

Other highlights on this year’s lineup include UK act Sleaford Mods, Melbourne favourites RVG, experimental composer Max Richter (who’ll present his famous SLEEP performance, which goes for eight hours), and USA’s King Woman, who’ll be making their Australian debut.

Black Flag: ‘Rise Above’

Dark Mofo will kick off with its opening night celebration The Gathering, featuring BARKAA, Tasman KeithdameeeelaDENNIMARLON X RULLA, and more. The festival’s two main electronic events – Borderlands and Berlin Atonal – will take again in 2023, with acts like Carl Stone, Rama Parwata, Dean Hurley, and Lauren Halo locked in to deliver sets. Borderlands will feature four events across the two weeks of the festival.

Many of the festival’s flagship events will be returning, including the Night Mass, Dark Park, and the Masquerade Ball. “This year’s festival will be a reflection of the past decade, and while much has changed, our desire to celebrate the longest nights and embrace winter in Tasmania hasn’t wavered. We can’t wait to light the fires again this June,” creative director Leigh Carmichael said in a statement.
