The twelfth annual Singing Up Country, Sydney’s Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander music festival is upon us with this year’s line-up featuring Black Turtles, Maanyung, Mark Munk Ross, Michael Birk and The Recognisers, Aunty Cundy Drummond and Kevin Hunt, Antwone, and Aleta Wassel promises a stellar array of musical talent.
Brought to you by Proud Yaegl musician Michael Birk, Singing Up Country will be held at St Anthony in the Fields Church, at Terrey Hills, 05 July 2026.
Exploring themes of belonging and caring for country, the festival communicates a community owned pride and Identity, supporting a stance that Australia always was and will always be Aboriginal land and that we all need to care for it. The community spirit from this event lingers in your mind and its value is evident as a culturally safe place and a heart-warming experience.
As always, Singing up Country begins at 03:30 pm with a free walk and talk of the Regenerating bush at St Anthony in the Fields in the care of the Kierans Creek Landcare Group followed by the Smoking Ceremony before the music begins. With a warming soup supper later in the evening, this is an entertaining and enriching start to NAIDOC week. Link to tickets below.
