Bow to the gods of debauchery as Dark Mofo festival resurrects this ... (Time Out Melbourne)

From volcanic eruptions to stoner rock corruptions, Hobart's wild heart is ablaze again in winter 2022.

All this and more awaits brave souls open to the surreal and sublime, plus the ceremonial celebrations of Memorial, where the grieving can bring the ashes of their loved ones and bear them unto a handcrafted firework that will then erupt over the Hobart waterfront. No worship of the dark arts would be complete without a trip to the Odeon Theatre for Anger, a triple bill of trippy movies celebrating occult filmmaker Kenneth Anger. Music lovers will relish the sweet sounds of Kamilaroi rapper The Kid Laroi, who will rock the MyState Bank Arena on the banks of the River Derwent with chart-destroying tracks from his mixtape F*ck Love and EP 14 with a Dream. Sonic Youth guru Kim Gordon is a massive coup for the second week’s line-up. “As the cultural world re-emerges from the darkness of cancellations and lockdowns, we are all experiencing a rebirth, of sorts,” he says. Some 100-plus artists from 30 countries across the globe will descend on Hobart, transforming every corner of the city into a multi-sensory extravaganza. All hail Dionysus, the ancient Greek god of mulled wine-fuelled merriment, whose wild winds of debauchery will envelop Hobart as Dark Mofo summons forth his Bacchanalian spirit.
