Storyland is a new full festival experience of music, art, and story in Coffs Harbour.
Co-headliners are double-Grammy nominated, jazz-soul giants, Hiatus Kaiyote, who will perform fresh from their set at Coachella, and Genesis Owusu, who has defied genre and style ‘boxes’ to keep the limelight burning.
Storyland takes place on 20 May, at Park Beach Reserve, Gumbaynggirr Country, Coffs Harbour. It’s an electric, eclectic ride on Storyland’s main stage with Genesis Owusu, Ngaiire, Hiatus Kaiyote, Emma Donovan, and Horns of Leroy joined by two new artists – powerhouse First Nations, dance party duo Electric Fields join the lineup along with K+LAB, back from his North American tour, with his larger-than-life big bass and breaks set.
Storyland has a DJ tent, The Yurt Locker, curated by programmer Coco Varma, and throughout the festival are large scale film – inspired art installations. Animated by Caleb Cowie, and written by Storyland’s Creative Directors, Zakpage, festival-goers will experience a signature Storyland narrative backbone that plays out over three chapters across the day and night.
Storyland is an 18+ adults only event. For tickets and festival info, go to www.slmf.com.au.
