Get ready for an epic day at the City of Whittlesea Community Festival!
It is set to be packed with awesome music, fun activities, and good vibes on Sunday 16 March. Best of all it’s free, and a must-visit for any music fan.
Headlining the stage is Australian World Music Star, Mitch Tambo. He has topped charts worldwide, and his version of You’re the Voice just hit over one million streams! Expect a high-energy show that’ll have everyone dancing.
Mitch Tambo is pumped for the festival.
“It’s going to be such a fantastic celebration bringing the community together, I can’t wait to share my music with audiences at such a vibrant event and to rock the stage.” Mitch said.
Also bringing the vibes is Squid Nebula, a band led by Noongar musician Bumpy. Their smooth mix of soul and funk has taken them to major festivals, and they were named in the Bigsound 150 list in 2020.
