I had the opportunity to speak to the NSW Reconstruction Authority (NSW RA) last month. One of the matters I brought up was the proposed 57 Station Street, Mullumbimby development.

HOVR presented by Flow Music at The haven

Flow Music returns to Haven on Sunday, 25 January for an open-air terrace event running from 4pm to 10pm, bringing together music, art and community in a relaxed daytime-to-evening format.

The afternoon features DJ sets from HOVR (DE), Yeti, and Cakkou (Fem Cartel), with music unfolding across Haven’s outdoor terrace as the sun sets. Inside, the Haven Gallery remains open until 8pm, with all event tickets including full gallery access.

The experience extends beyond the music, with dancers by Unveiled moving through the space, visual styling and decor by Rain Mage, and market stalls curated by Trash and others. Guests can expect dumplings on offer, a full bar throughout the event, and drink specials available between 4pm and 6pm.

The event is designed to be inclusive and accessible, welcoming families, children and pets. A dedicated kids art and craft table will be hosted by Oceana Piccone, offering a creative space for younger guests while the wider community gathers across the terrace and gallery.

HOVR’s performance anchors the day, delivering an extended open-air set designed for the terrace rather than a peak-hour club environment. This approach favours immersion over immediacy, allowing the music to unfold gradually and respond to the space and crowd. Alongside Yeti and Cakkou, the event is curated as a cohesive musical journey, moving steadily from late afternoon into evening.

Tickets are available online from events.humanitix.com/flow-music-presents-hovr-yeti, and capacity is limited
