Yothu Yindi, Archie Roach & More Confirmed For New 'Treaty Day Out' Event

A stacked line-up of First Nations talent has been confirmed for a new outdoor concert in Shepparton that will raise awareness and support for the journey towards Treaty in Victoria. 

Treaty Day Out is happening on February 26 at the Aboriginal community-run Rumbalara Football Netball Club, bringing with it an eclectic line-up featuring Yothu Yindi, Archie Roach, Briggs, Mo’Ju, Alice Skye and more.

It’s being held by the First Peoples’ Assembly of Victoria to coincide with a by-election in which Aboriginal people in the state’s north-east will choose who will represent them in the Treaty process.

Here's the full line-up:

ARCHIE ROACH • BRIGGS • ELECTRIC FIELDS • MO’JU • NO FIXED ADDRESS • ALICE SKYE • MARLON x RULLA • SCOTT DARLOW • MADI COLVILLE WALKER • WULUMBARRA • YOTHU YINDI

Co-Chair of the First Peoples’ Assembly of Victoria, and proud Nira illim bulluk man of the Taungurung nation, Marcus Stewart, said: “What a line-up! From established musical heroes to cutting-edge new talent, the day will have something for everyone. 

“We’re really excited to be back out in community and celebrating our culture and music again.”

Bangerang and Wiradjuri Elder and Co-Chair of the First Peoples’ Assembly of Victoria, Geraldine Atkinson, added: “A lot of work has gone into the event to make sure it can go ahead in keeping with all of the best health advice. 

“We’ve even arranged for our friends at the Victorian Aboriginal Community Controlled Health Organisation (VACCHO) to bring the mobile vaccination clinic to the event, so you’ll be able to come along for an awesome day of music, show your support for Treaty, have your say by casting your vote in the by-election, and to top it all off you can also get your booster while you’re at it.”

Victorian Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people who are enrolled with the Assembly will be given free entry to the concert. Eligible people can enrol at any time online by clicking here. 

Non-Aboriginal people and those who aren't enrolled will be able to purchase tickets for $50.
