Blak Powerhouse

W/ JK-47, 3%, BECCA HATCH, MISS KANINNA, RONA, MI-KAISHA, MAANYUNG

5:00pm Powerhouse Museum

CW

Second edition of this Invasion Day event curated by First Nations social enterprise We Are Warriors. If you were at last year's event — especially Barkaa's powerful, raw set — you know how special it was. There will also be market stalls, art, and a WAW film premiere, as well as a mystery special guest scheduled before 3%'s set. The event is free, but for non-First Nations attendees, we highly recommend buying some merch on the night if you can, or donating to an Indigenous organisation based on Gadigal or the country you live or work on.

Powerhouse Late: Hopetoun

W/ iOTA, Alannah Russack + Adam Gibson + Peter Fenton, Christa Hughes

6:00pm Powerhouse Museum

JH

Huge exhibition celebrating the history and incredible range of talent that came through the doors of the sadly missed Hoey - every night, every week. For a kid from the country that moved to Sydney with no inroads to discover Sydney's local music scene beyond international gig supports and triple j, the Hoey was a sudden explosion of access to so many subcommunities within our local live music community. The threads still run deep - and there's never been a space that's quite taken its place. RIP Hoey. What will be your spiritual successor?
