Beyond Jazz Weekender

Beyond Jazz Weekender is set to elevate Bellingen's reputation as a vibrant music destination and hotspot for wellness and nature tourism. Presenting live concerts, DJ sets, and art across multiple performance spaces, music lovers should expect the unexpected, as jazz musicians - surely the most adaptable of all artists - collaborate in spontaneous groupings to create music in forms heard nowhere else. Enjoy a truly immersive festival experience - be delighted by roaming performers, explore the jazz album art exhibition, go deep with live podcast interviews, and have fun with interactive art installations. Learn some new moves from Sydney's Dance Makers Collective, then strut your stuff on the dancefloor at The Saturday Night Social. Find your groove, be it soul, funk, hip-hop or house music as their carefully curated DJ line up taps into the resurgence of dancefloor jazz under the banner of Acid Jazz & Other Illicit Beats. After two nights of hedonism, take a mental break from the music by joining a mass yoga session and sound bath healing experience before heading out to capture one of the many breathtaking vistas found throughout this eco-certified region. First line up announcement – first week in May.
