The tenth iteration of Dark Mofo returns to Nipaluna/Hobart from 8–22 June 2023. The edgy midwinter festival’s program is on display from today.

This year will be the final for the festival’s founder and Creative Director Leigh Carmichael. “The last few years have been challenging, and heavily impacted by COVID, so to finally be in a position to again release a full two-week festival program feels overwhelming,” said Carmichael.

“The tenth edition will include the return of Dark Park, a large-scale art program, eight nights of Winter Feast and a massive music program. This year’s festival will be a reflection of the past decade, and while much has changed, our desire to celebrate the longest nights and embrace winter in Tasmania hasn’t wavered. We can’t wait to light the fires again this June.”

This year’s venues span the city and include the Odeon Theatre, the In The Hanging Garden precinct, Federation Concert Hall, Princes Wharf 1, the Baha’i Centre, Hobart Town Hall, Tasmanian Museum and Art Gallery, Hobart Library and Long Beach in Sandy Bay.
