Iconic Melbourne venues Section 8 and Ferdydurke have announced a huge lineup for their ZOO Laneway Party on Saturday November 25th, the closing day of Melbourne Music Week 2017.
The DIY laneway party, now in its fifth year, has seen more than fifteen thousand punters through its gates and hosted more than seventy local and international artists, beat-makers, performers and visual artists.
Taking over of one of the city’s most recognisable laneway blocks from 2PM, ZOO’s 2017 program is set to be a 9 hour feast intersecting live music, performance and visual art.
ZOO LANEWAY PARTY LINE UP
ZOO 2017’s lineup is helmed by acclaimed hip-hop artist, Bad Apples records founder and prominent Indigenous Australian voice; BRIGGS.
Respected London based DJ and Eglo Records founder ALEXANDER NUT will be flying in for a special set alongside collaborative queen, Swedish-born and London based vocalist, FATIMA.
With sounds spanning Ethiopian jazz to Ghanian rhythms are New Zealand’s WEIRD TOGETHER; an eight piece live band led by legendary New Zealand producer/DJs Dick ‘Magik’ Johnson and Nick Dwyer.
American beatmaker AFTA-1 will be performing the Australian debut of his new live show, bringing his seminal record AFTA THOUGHTS to life with an all-star cast of local musicians led by AMIN PAYNE.
Live music treats continue with the cosmic mélange of boom-bap, neo-soul harmonies and jazzy licks from one of Melbourne’s freshest collectives 30/70, led by Allysha Joy.
19-year-old soul singer KAIIT has recently burst onto the scene with her track ‘Natural Woman’; receiving rave reviews across triple j and independent radio.
THE CORETET have built a solid reputation as one of the most eclectic rhythm sections in Melbourne; bursting at the seams with a heady mix of live funk and hip- hop.
AFRIK FUTURISM drum up a dancefloor call-to-arms with layers of West African percussion, live synths and infectious rhythms bringing a modern take to an ancient sound.
Toting forgotten funk and dial-tone classic kitsch are the cheeriest disc jockeys in town, POSITIVELY POSITIVE PARTY, who’ll be taking over two levels of Ferdydurke’s loft for a wild night time soiree. More artists are to be announced.
Melbourne based visual artist WWZRD6 will be bringing the laneway space to life, showcasing his new series on a four-storey high projection wall throughout the night.
