Coterie + Velvet Bloom | Tumbalong Nights

Catch coastal grooves, sun-soaked guitar-lines and soulful melodies with New Zealand-Australian pacific reggae band Coterie and magnetic indie act Velvet Bloom.

Born to musical parents, Coterie consists of four Maori brothers whose lyrical take on reggae rock took off with 'Cool it down', a surf-sprayed ode to hometown Perth's pristine beaches.

Ahead of the release of their anticipated second album, see why they've made a name as a festival staple, with a high-energy, feel-good live set.

Led by enigmatic singer Maddy Herbert, Melbourne four-piece Velvet Bloom fuse jazz, folk and rock with funk-flecked synths and sharp pop hooks. Following last year's self-titled debut album, Velvet Bloom have emerged as a sleek and soulful act, with a powerful live presence.

Plus, families can head along at 5pm to catch children's act The Mik Maks, as part of our Vivid Kidsconcerts each Saturday afternoon.

Free for all to enjoy, Tumbalong Nights ignites Darling Quarter's Tumbalong Park with 23 nights of music during Vivid Sydney, with a cross-cultural lineup of live music from international legends, Australian icons, emerging stars, plus DJs.
