Club Awi 2025 – the year of local, national and international collabs
This Club Awi we’re bringing everyone together to get the party really pumping! Our line-up is serving some core Darwin heavies in the mix with the fresh bloods coming through, to present flavas you’ve never heard before. From Kununurra to Palmo, Bali to Katherine, Nightcliff to Wurrumiyanga, we’ve got you covered. We’ll also be graced with some Larrakia visuals curated by Mikaela Lee and we’re leveling up in the realm of performances and MCs as our cherries on top.
Every Friday and Saturday night after our late music gigs, the decks will ignite with killer mixes – think afro grooves colliding with moombahton and baile-funk, bootscootin’ boogies through to disco glam, and a seamless flow from classic R&B booty bounce/jersey to fresh new school hip hop across house and footwerk. It’s going to be a proper Darwin sonic feast!
Get your tickets at the door or stick around after your INPEX Sunset Stage late show for free entry.
SAT 9 AUG – Laundry Gallery x Country Struts Hoedown + BENNYGOLD
Two hours of disco cowboy anthems, line dancing and glitter-fuelled fun. Brought to you by Laundry Gallery x Country Struts Hoedown, this high-energy event celebrates the flair of modern boot scooting, while honouring the deep legacy of Indigenous stockmen and women in the Northern Territory. For generations, Aboriginal people shaped the cattle industry with incredible skill, resilience and connection to Country, often working under tough, unjust conditions. This night brings those histories into the spotlight with rhythm, joy and an unapologetic hoedown style. All welcome. Boots + cowboys hats a must!
