In what’s destined to be a sell-out event Xavier Rudd, Yothu Yindi & The Treaty Project, Sampa The Great and Tay Oskee will be performing at Leura Park Estate on March 16.

Zaccaria Concerts & Touring are thrilled to announce the SummerSalt concert which delivers top artists to the great Australian outdoors.

Xavier Rudd’s has toured the world with his incredible one man and multiinstrumental show inclusive of guitar, didgeridoo and harmonica.

Writing music and living his life are one and the same – earlier this year, the Australian singer-song writer and multiinstrumentalist released his ninth studio album Storm Boy.

Six years have passed since Rudd’s last solo release, the No. 2 and Gold certified album Spirit Bird and a lot of things have happened in that time.

Yothu Yindi & The Treaty Project was initially launched in 2017, to celebrate the release of the 25th anniversary remix pack of Yothu Yindi’s “Treaty” and raise awareness for the need for treaty with Australia’s First Nations people.

In this exciting new, electronica-driven formation, founding members of Yothu Yindi – Witiyana Marika, Stu Kellaway and Kevin Malngay Yunupingu are joined onstage by former band members and popular Indigenous singer/songwriters.

Sampa The Great is one of the world’s most soulful rappers, the poet and neosoul performer is blessed with the ability to weave dense, lyrical mazes with her verses.

Sampa has won over a wave of adoring fans with her live performances and has sold out headline shows and festival slots at Golden Plains, Sugar Mountain, Laneway, Womad & Vivid Live.

Opening SummerSalt will be singer/ songwriter Tay Oskee; he is a multiinstrumentalist playing different types of guitars, banjo, harmonica and percussion.

With a musical style that is wide and varied, Tay can take you on a journey from chilled beach tunes to punchy riff driven roots music with distinct multicultural influences.

SummerSalt Leura Park Estate Curlewis is happening March 16, gates open at 1.20pm with tickets on sale at summersaltmusic.com.au.
