Illuminate’s final weekend throws the ultimate music takeover
Get ready for a brand new music event like no other giving you all-access to the city’s best sounds for one night only!
An electrifying mini festival featuring the West End’s most iconic venues, Supersonic sets to tear up Illuminate’s final weekend with a range of ticketed and free sonic spectacles featuring the likes of ACE, Ancient World, ILA, Jive, Lion Arts Factory, Nexus Arts and Mercury Cinema.
Running all night long from 5pm – 5am, the evening is yours to choose your own adventure spanning throughout the city’s roiling West side. Hop between venues at your own pace, each with a stacked line up including everything from indie hams to alternative explorations, orchestral sounds, late-night techno, a club takeover from local legend Motez and 12 hour music docos on the big screen.
So, whatever you’re in the mood for, you’ll find the fuel to excite the senses at Supersonic. Switch on for a night to remember.
We have two artists presenting at the Nexus Arts venue on the 19th of July
Frank Yamma is one of Australia’s most important Indigenous songwriters, known for his powerful voice, emotive guitar work, and songs that cross cultural and musical boundaries. An initiated Pitjantjatjara man, he sings in both his native language and English, telling stories of country, heartache, and love. Based in Adelaide but spiritually connected to Central Australia, Yamma has earned critical acclaim with albums Countryman and Uncle, leading to performances at WOMAdelaide, Bluesfest, Sydney Festival, and internationally at WOMAD UK and WOMEX. His 2020 album Tjukurpa: The Story received an ARIA nomination and widespread international praise.
Japanese vocalist and award-winning virtuoso, master of the shamisen, Noriko Tadano, and dark ambient modular synthesist Adam Ritchie (AKA r.domain) come together to create tradition-defying, immersive soundscapes.
