The biggest lineup of live bands to ever shake the Northern Territory is ready to descend upon this unholy land and awaken hungry souls who’ve yearned for live music for three long and treacherous years!
Blacken Open Air reluctantly succumbed to the horrors of the world the last couple of years but returns in 2022 with a vengeance.
A lineup of the absolute best bands in the country, alongside an enormous art and culture program featuring Arrernte ceremony, burlesque, street art, fire shows, market stalls, gourmet food and three nights of partying. All while camped out in a spectacular ancient valley surrounded by red cliff escarpments, amongst ghost gums, immersed in history and witnessed by one million shimmering stars.
There’s something for everyone on this most ambitious, and eclectic lineup. We’ve scoured this continent and beyond to curate the absolute pinnacle of live music. From the heaviest, most technical and extreme death metal to the most raucous, heart-pumping, sweaty rock n roll, and a sound for every taste in between!
