The NOW now 2017

Tickets below or on door.

The 16th annual festival of improvised, spontaneous and experimental music features a remarkable national and international line up of creative humans.

Over four nights (and a few days) in Redfern, musicians, dancers, sound artists, and other inspired creative do-ers will make their mark on our lives, one set at a time.

The NOW now 2017 will be entirely artist powered. To raise funds, festival, founder and co-curator Clayton Thomas will play the longest world's longest bass solo at MONA on January 14. To show your support, please donate and help us get this puppy off the ground.

Please share this event far and wide.
