The lineup
Fringe Mocktailz Street Band
The Fringe Mocktailz is a Darwin-based Street Band which brings energetic, lively and engaging music to people in outdoor public spaces at the Darwin Fringe Festival. We are a spontaneous pop-up group that celebrates the richness of life with all the colour and vibrancy of live music.
I am CODA
I am CODA is an expression of who I am. I’m a musician and singer songwriter, and my parents are Deaf. Music is the only way I have found to truly express both parts of my identity, as a hearing person, with a Deaf heart.
I will be performing several songs that mean a lot to me, translated into Auslan.
Kathryn and the Overbytes
Kathryn and the Overbytes are a high energy Territorian Rock act. Their sound is combination of pop punk and rock. They formed in mid-2019 and released their first self-produced single and EP in 2021. The band has won multiple competitions and performed in festival shows interstate.
