Travel from the heart of the central desert to the bright lights of the big smoke in an epic rock ‘n’ roll theatre show. Before King Stingray, before the mighty Yothu Yindi, there was Warumpi Band. The band that took Aboriginal culture to the world.
'The band is hot and unstoppable, the cast a joyful expression of music and story.'
