- **Event Description**: SMILK
A journey that is flowing and beautiful, yet driven with purpose and intention.
Tijuana Cartel fuse hypnotic electronica with flamenco guitar, Middle Eastern grooves, and bold trumpet lines—crafting a genre-defying sound that’s unmistakably their own. Based in the Byron Bay region, the band is driven by guitarist Paul George and producer/keyboardist Carey O’Sullivan, alongside percussionist Sheila Finke and trumpet player Tristan Rogers.

Drawing from melodic tech, organic house, punchy mid-tempo, and broken beat, their sets weave bass-heavy rhythms, layered soundscapes, rolling percussion, live horn, and virtuosic guitar into an immersive sonic journey. Longtime festival favourites in Australia and abroad, Tijuana Cartel are equally at home on major stages and intimate boutique gatherings.

For this special performance, the experience expands even further—we’re thrilled to welcome flamenco dancer Sebastian Sanchez, joining the band live on stage. His movement adds a powerful visual and emotional dimension, embodying the raw spirit, precision, and intensity of flamenco in dialogue with the music.

Paired with hand-crafted, custom animated visuals, this is more than a concert—it’s a full-body experience, and one of the most unique performances you’ll see all weekend.
