The Dark Mofo 2015 Lineup Has Just Dropped and It's Pretty Outstanding

Tasmania’s winter festival Dark Mofo has announced its 2015 lineup, which will include appearances from the award-winning Antony and the Johnsons accompanied by the Tasmanian Symphony Orchestra and British art-pop collective The Irrepressibles, plus Arkansas doom metalheads Pallbearer, dark Australian folkster and founder of The Drones, Gareth Liddiard, Seattle horror-country black-and-roller King Dude, Sydney indie-rock party-starters The Preatures and many more.

Dark Mofo 2015 will also feature a large-scale public artworks including the high-octane Fire Organ by German chemo-acoustic engineer Bastiaan Maris, the full-body sonic massage immersion of Bass Bath by Melbourne’s Byron J. Scullin in collaboration with Supple Fox, and a mysteriously dubbed 'Night Ship' which will prowl the river throughout the festival.

Dark Mofo Creative Director Leigh Carmichael said: “With the third iteration of Dark Mofo, we are pushing ourselves to the limit with a program that will challenge, disturb, excite, and hopefully enlighten our audience in some small way. We are expanding into a new precinct at Hobart’s harbourside Macquarie Point, with a project called ‘Dark Park’, which will house a number of large-scale art projects that will in turn push the audience to their limits."

Dark Mofo builds up to the longest night and winter solstice (Monday 22 June, 2.38am) with the annual Nude Solstice Swim at sunrise (7.10am, Monday 22 June).
