Midsumma Festival: Amplio Rocks! Deaf Club & Dance Party
31 January @ 5:00 pm - 11:00 pm AEDT

Using Amplio — a revolutionary music app designed by and for Deaf and hard of hearing people — this interactive concert lets you see, feel, and fully experience music. Lyrics and instruments are shown visually on screen. Powerful vibrations pump through the floor. And Auslan music videos bring the emotion to life.
Hosted by Deaf author and composer Asphyxia, you’ll go on a hilarious and mind-blowing journey of musical discovery. Unpack what makes a song feel good, learn how to choose the right version for your hearing needs, and even vote on which voice or settings to use in each track.
Deaf participants are invited onstage to explore how music can be tailored to you. Whether you’re totally Deaf or mildly hard of hearing, you’ll find a way to connect.
