Support Act: Kooii

Kooii are a band pushing boundaries in contemporary Australian music. Their compelling fusion of Afrobeat, reggae and world rhythms have earned them a glowing reputation, both on record and in the live arena. Their music is ageless and familiar, it brings together soulful melodies, three?part harmonies and horns that soar over a driving rhythm section. On stage, Kooii deliver a dynamic show made for dancing, delving from the hypnotic depths of reggae rhythms into the pulsating groove of Afrobeat via some Malian desert blues. The intrinsic understanding shared between these talented musicians allows for colourful and engaging improvisation. As a result, the music is free?flowing and uplifting, leaving the listener relishing every last drop. Over the last ten years, Kooii have toured extensively throughout Australia and New Zealand, gathering a devoted following along the way. They've become festival favourites with an impressive performance history that includes Byron Bay, Bluesfest, Woodford, Island Vibe and Rainbow Serpent to name but a few.
