Frontier Touring are excited to announce LA-based, singer, composer, producer and multi-instrumentalist Laufey (pronounced lāy-vāy) will make her Australian debut this June with shows in Sydney and Melbourne. Her latest project, A Night at the Symphony (2023), is out now and was recorded live with the Iceland Symphony Orchestra – stream it HERE.

The Icelandic-Chinese artist with a penchant for jazz has achieved huge success, regularly selling out shows around the world, including concert halls that have previously hosted the likes of Björk and the Iceland Symphony Orchestra. Drawing in fans of multiple generations, Laufey’s live shows showcase the full extent of her musical prowess. Don’t miss the 23-year-old songstress when she performs live for the first time in Australia later this year.

Come join us to celebrate another cycle of the Sun, the NEW YEAR celebration of the natives of Abya Yala (aka Latin America) and beyond. One of the most transcendental celebrations from annual natural cycles, which has roots thousands of years ago (Christmas is one example of it but from the northern hemisphere). It represents the rebirth of the Sun, an opportunity for a new beginning for all life forms. That is why it still is the most sacred ceremony of the Mapuche, Aymara, Quechua, and other ethnic groups from the Andes .

This time we have the honour to host an international artist from Chile, 𝐑𝐨𝐝𝐫𝐢𝐠𝐨 𝐆𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐚𝐫𝐝𝐨. His music pioneered a global ethnic electronic movement that rediscovered ancient ritualistic rhythms and put them on the global electronic map for all of us to dance to.

Alongside Rodrigo, we will have a support act by 𝐒𝐮𝐧𝐒𝐞𝐞𝐝𝐬, a perfect match for the organic, bass-driven and groovy music we have prepared for this celebration.

To complete the lineup we will have two ISU TAKI resident DJs, 𝐂𝐮𝐞𝐫𝐩𝐨 𝐍𝐞𝐠𝐫𝐨 & 𝐎𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐨𝐧𝐠𝐨, to play some of the most exquisite tunes Latin American ethno-organica/folktronica producers have released in the last few years. Infused with ancient melodies and powerful percussions, including -as usual- some Afro-Latin beats to make you shake it!
