Duke Street Block Party

FEBRUARY 2, 2019

Amongst live acts & DJs from every corner of the soundsphere and a bottomless selection of the neighbourhood’s finest food & bev, we invite you & your pals to follow your noses, ears & internal bass sensors through our brick & asphalt paradise.

With a clink-clink to soulful melodies, our main stage features the debut Antipodean performance of synth-funk queen Evelyn Champagne King backed by Melbourne’s Mondo Freaks, a hearty serving of disco donuts from Floating Points, local love from Big Words, Nasty Mars & The Martians, and a DJ set from Total Giovanni. On the club tip — Melbourne’s notorious ‘Club Coco’ is switching the club room for the sidewalk to hold it’s own stage. They’ll welcome back London’s John Gomez, alongside Donalds House, Jess Zammit, Rhapsodise & Wax Nomads while the pink-light ravers Brooke Powers, Interstellar Fugitives, Soft Approach, Anuraag, Makeda & The Justice Sisters keep it thumping in Club No. 9. Under Moon Dog Hall’s roof, resonations from Plug Seven’s homemade Hi-Fi rig are set to ring out the sounds of local selectors, plus a club cut set from Cassettes For Kids.

We acknowledge that this event takes place on stolen land, owned by the Wurundjeri People of the Kulin Nation, where sovereignty was never ceded. We pay our respects to their elders past, present & emerging, and invite all First Nations people in our community who wish to attend to PM us for ticket arrangements.
