: Kaya at Joondalup Festival 2026
7 March @ 7:00 pm - 9:30 pm AWST

Get ready for an unforgettable night of sound, story, and spectacle as acclaimed Noongar artist Phil Walleystack brings his extraordinary live show to Joondalup Festival.
A thrilling fusion of music, storytelling, dance, and breathtaking visuals, Phil Walleystack’s ‘Kaya’ is a bold celebration of Noongar culture — ancient and alive, powerful and contemporary. Led by the artist’s commanding presence, the show sweeps audiences across the ancient songlines of Noongar Boodjar, where deep cultural knowledge meets cutting-edge performance.
Backed by his band and a string quartet, didgeridoo, contemporary and Traditional dancers and Noongar chants, Walleystack delivers soaring vocals and deeply personal stories that ignite the stage.
Staged under the open sky at Neil Hawkins Park, Phil Walleystack’s ‘Kaya’ is a family-friendly, must-see event that invites audiences of all ages and backgrounds to come together, connect, and celebrate the living stories of First Nations culture through sound, movement, and light.
