Festival Info

Genre: Music festivals

For the first time in Northern Rivers Kokoroko perform at The Great Northern Hotel for Dingo Festival Opening Party on Thursday 8th October. Supported by DJ Mike Gurrieri (PBSFM) + local Dai Hovey (Main Arm records)

Kokoroko's artistry has matured to a place that's now largely representative of the musical melting point and wide range of tastes that comes as Londoners in the black diaspora. It's this precise notion and the sense of London as an overarching anchor that informs the crux of their second studio album 'Tuff Times Never Last'. A testament to resilience, joy and the retainment of child-like innocence in the face of adverse circumstances. “Although we're reflecting on joy and celebration, you realize a lot of that beauty comes out of challenges and difficulties. Even in memory, the times that were tough tend to sweeten up”

Ticket does not include any other festival days or closing party
