One of Australia’s most uncompromising and influential First Nations artists, BARKAA, will headline BLAK NITE 2026 at Carclew on Friday 1 May, anchoring a one-night festival that brings together music, culture and community in a bold, multi-artform celebration.

It will also feature a dynamic mix of established and emerging First Nations artists, including performers from Carclew’s Gig Rig Tracks program, which delivers regional music and dance initiatives across Whyalla, Port Augusta and Ceduna.

Acknowledging Traditional Owners and showcasing First Nations artists has always been central to Carclew. Join us as we celebrate First Nations culture with some of the most exciting artists from across the country.

Blak Nite is produced by Carclew in partnership with Indigenous Languages and Arts Australia and Create SA, supported by Balya Productions.
