Dark Mofo's Complete 2022 Lineup Is Here (Music Feeds)

One of Australia's premier winter festivals, Dark Mofo, will be back in the Tasmanian capital, Hobart, for two weeks this June.

In addition to the music side of the program, Dark Mofo will present a wide variety of art installations. Outrage followed and many artists and supporters boycotted the event. “As the cultural world re-emerges from the darkness of cancellations and lockdowns, we are all experiencing a rebirth, of sorts.

“This year's festival is a celebration of coming together again, to listen to some music, see some art and eat at the Winter Feast,” Creative Director Leigh ...

The Feast’s stallholders will be announced in May. The Ogoh-ogoh returns with the festival’s Balinese-inspired community ritual to purge and then burn our fears, this year taking form as a giant Tamanian Masked Owl. “As the cultural world re-emerges from the darkness of cancellations and lockdowns, we are all experiencing a rebirth, of sorts. Plus an exclusive Australian performance by Swiss metal band Triptykon, driven by Tom Gabriel Fischer (Hellhammer, Celtic Frost). Cult favourites from Japan, Boris, will perform their signature noise stoner rock, marking 30 years of the band’s existence. We’re just grateful to be able to present a full festival program again.” Dark Mofo is honoured to present works by influential video and new media artist Bill Viola, as well as sculpturist and multi-channel video artist Doug Aitken (USA). Jónsi (Sigur Rós) will present a multi-channel immersive experience inspired by the recent eruption of the Fagradalsfjall volcano in Iceland.

Rainbows, a Doll House and the Eerie 'Candyman' Score: They're ... (Concrete Playground)

The Tasmanian winter festival will also feature The Kid LAROI, Lingua Ignota , immersive art by Jónsi and the sounds of 'Chernobyl'.

Two big music highlights spring from the realm of film and television: live performances of the scores to 2021's excellent new Candyman and 2019's haunting HBO miniseries Chernobyl. With the first, Robert Aiki Aubrey Lowe will be playing the sounds that helped make the movie so unnerving. And, so is Anger, a performance dedicated to Kenneth Anger's life and work in occult cinema. That's your ears well and truly taken care of — but Dark Mofo's visual lineup is just as impressive. All up, Dark Mofo 2022 will feature more than 100 artists from 30 countries, and span everything from acclaimed local names hitting the stage to a life-sized doll house that attendees can wander through, all to celebrate the theme 'resurrection'. After announcing the first highlights for this year's fest back in March — and revealing that it'll run over two weeks as well — Dark Mofo has dropped its full 2022 program. In a 2022 bill that includes everything from rainbows to the Chernobyl score played live in an immersive industrial setting, that trend is naturally set to continue.
