Overview

A major new cultural event is coming to the heart of the capital this spring. Rock for Reconciliation, a free First Nations–led healing concert founded by Senior Ngunnawal Elder Aunty Violet Sheridan, will take place at Stage 88, Commonwealth Park.

Leading the line-up is Electric Fields, the genre-defying electric-soul duo known for their powerful fusion of Aboriginal language and cutting-edge sound. Joining them is Emily Warramura, the ARIA Award-winning singer-songwriter, Jem Cassar-Dlay, the esteemed QMA Indigenous Artist of the Year recipient and local and emerging talents, including Canberra's own award winning singer-songwriter Wallabindi and more.

The event will feature a full day of music, amusement rides, market stalls, food, kids' activities and interactive cultural experiences. It aims to unite communities, celebrate First Nations culture, and continue the journey outlined in the Uluru Statement from the Heart.

"Rock for Reconciliation is about uniting hearts, celebrating culture, and creating a better future – together" says Aunty Violet Sheridan, Senior Ngunnawal Elder and Event Founder.

Tickets are free and available now.

The success of Rock for Reconciliation would not be possible without the generous support of the National Indigenous Australians Agency (NIAA), National Capital Authority (NCA), The Tradies Dickson, Snow Foundation, ASPEN Medical, and the ACT Governement, whose commitment to reconciliation is reflected in their active involvement and advocacy.
