The concrete jungle of Naarm is sprouting an intoxicating flower on Saturday, March 14th. The celestial gears are aligning at Whitehart Lane for The Hart Turns 9—nine years of keeping the wolves at the door and the spirits in the glass. You can’t survive a trip like this on vibes alone, so the madness kicks off early with unadulterated free pizza from the legends at +39 Pizzeria from noon to 1:30 PM. After that, Shisanyama Kings are firing up an all-day BBQ from 2 PM to keep you fueled while the $9 select cocktails start to take hold.
To rattle your teeth, a DJ tag-team marathon featuring pairings like Colette x Cazeaux Oslo and Chris Ng x DJ Jimmy James keeps the pulse going from the jump. The auditory hallucinations will peak with live acts dripping onto the stage like liquid neon: Rara Zulu at 6 PM, THNDO at 8 PM, and Blushko delivering the final blow at 9:30 PM. Throw in 3 PM dance battles where humans distort their physical forms to DJ Antagonise, plus visual art plastered across the walls all night, and you’ve got a full-blown assault on the senses. Bring your thirst, bring your dancing shoes, and leave your inhibitions in a bin somewhere in the CBD.
