Overview

A rock 'n' roll theatre extravaganza!

Big Name, No Blankets celebrates the phenomenal journey and impact of Sammy Tjapanangka Butcher, one of the founding members of Australian music icons Warumpi Band in an epic rock 'n' roll theatre show.

Named after Warumpi Band's debut album — Big Name, No Blankets is a theatre show featuring Warumpi hits, showcasing Luritja and Gumatj (Yolngu Matha) languages and culture.

Making history as the first rock 'n' roll band to sing in Aboriginal languages, Warumpi Band is acclaimed for creating their Blak anthems: Jailanguru Pakarnu, My Island Home and Blackfella/Whitefella. Sammy and the band amplified Blak voices and stories through Warumpi Band while unifying listeners with the power of rock 'n' roll.
