This is amazing.

More St Vincent More St Vincent

Tassie's unique music and arts festival Dark Mofo has just dropped an outrageously excellent line-up brimming with fierce female talent and legendary musical acts.

Now in its sixth year, the festival has gone above and beyond with headliners, featuring the likes of St Vincent, Alice Glass, Laurie Anderson, Zola Jesus, Tanya Tagaq, Einstürzende Neubaten, Lydia Lunch, Autechre and a stack more.

"We’ve pulled together our most expansive lineup yet, spread over three weekends and presenting more than 750 artists, 22 exhibitions, two opera companies, two theatre companies, one puppet theatre company, one orchestra, and a community choir," Creative Director Leigh Carmichael said.

The full festival will run from 13 - 24 June with a brand new prelude weekend set for the 7 — 10 June to make the most of Tasmania's winter solstice.

"It’s always difficult to know exactly how the festival will unfold for the audience. We just strive to try and find new ways to experience the darkness and hope that people will continue to embrace it, and enjoy Hobart’s longest nights," Carmichael said.

Tickets to Dark Mofo go on sale from 11am, Tuesday 11 April; for more information, head to theGuide.
