# Event Details

- **Event Name**: On the Banks – Droppin’ Science: De La Soul
- **Event Start and End Date**: Sun, 01 Mar, 2026 at 08:00 am
- **Event Description**: Taking it back to the essence, Droppin’ Science is a night dedicated to hip hop in all its forms, celebrating the culture that raised us, the pioneers who opened doors, and the new wave of trailblazers walking boldly through them. Hip-hop icons De La Soul will bring their timeless grooves to On the Banks with Oddisee & Good Compny and Miss Kaninna.

True pioneers of the genre, the De La Soul trio has redefined rap with their playful lyrics, jazz-infused beats, and groundbreaking debut 3 Feet High and Rising. With a career spanning over three decades, De La Soul continue to inspire generations, delivering feel-good energy and unmatched stage presence wherever they perform. 

Rapper and producer Amir Mohamed aka Oddisee and his backing band, Good Compny, will bring their lauded lyrical commentary on sociopolitical issues intertwined with soulful funk to On the Banks as a supporting act. Proud Yorta Yorta, Dja Dja Wurrung, Kalkadoon and Yirendali woman, Miss Kaninna, became the first independent Aboriginal woman to ever be nominated for a single at the ARIA Music Awards. Now the “Blak Britney” singer, songwriter and rapper will bring her hip-hop, neo-soul, and R&B sounds to On the Banks alongside De La Soul and Oddisee & Good Compny.

Presented by Astral People, Droppin’ Science is an all-out salute to the sound that shaped us, the voices that continue to push it forward, and the communities that keep it alive.

This is hip hop. In full colour.
