Deadly line up set to rock

The best of Australia’s Indigenous talent will be on full display at Treaty in the Park on Sunday, November 24.

A celebration of First Nations’ culture and music, the event is a new joint initiative between the First Nations’ Assembly of Victoria and Wyndham City Council.

The day will feature an all First Nations lineup that includes Dan Sultan, Mo’ju, Kutcha Edwards, Brolga and Madi Colville-Walker.

Headliner Dan Sultan said he is excited to be performing.

“These gigs are always so much fun and it’s also great to play a small part in something that is so important. I’m excited to share the stage with such a mighty lineup and to be with everyone celebrating on Wadawurrung Country,” Sultan said.

Wyndham CEO Stephen Wall said the day was an important initiative that connects First Nations people and allies through live music and storytelling.

“Wyndham has one of the largest Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities in the western region and this is an important initiative for our city,” he said.

The co-chair of the First Peoples’ Assembly of Victoria Ngarra Murray encouraged people get behind the day.

“If you’re mob, come enjoy a deadly day in the park and enrol with us to help get Treaty done, and if you’re an ally come and learn more and walk with us. It’s a journey that needs to be led by First Peoples, but it’s a journey best taken together.”

Kids under 15 and Victorian Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people enrolled with the city go free, while the general public and concession holders can find tickets at: www.TreatyInThePark.com.
