After a massive reno and closure of more than a year, Wyndham Cultural Centre is set to open in early July, with King Stingray and Electric Fields headlining the first reopening performance.
The two bands, which, between them, have scored tonnes of awards and toured all over the world, (King Stingray are currently on tour in Europe!) will take the stage on Saturday 5 July. Tickets are available online.
King Stingray
King Stingray is a story of lifelong friendship. On King Stingray’s self-titled debut, across 10 tracks, the NT band announced their mission statement – to open the eyes of a nation while simultaneously rocking its socks off. King Stingray’s debut album earned them five ARIA nominations and won them the Breakthrough Artist gong; took out the Australian Music Prize and won the Album of the Year and Best Independent Rock Album at the 2023 AIR Awards. Impressive for a band that has stayed true to themselves, blending raucous rock’n’roll and the ancient Indigenous tradition of manikay (song/songlines), organically building a fanbase until the momentum became unstoppable.
Electric Fields
Launching in 2015, Electric Fields’ exceptional trajectory saw them invited to perform in China, Scotland, and New Zealand within the first 6 months; and by the end of their first year, they’d headlined shows around Australia, received several awards, and were signed to Sony Publishing. The following year, they became recipients of the coveted Stigwood Fellowship and have since taken out 27 awards, along with being nominated as Best Live Band for the ARIAs. Described by Vogue as ‘movers of the next gen’, Electric Fields were chosen to represent Australia at Eurovision 2024 in Sweden.
This performance will be suitable for all ages.
