Desert Harmony Festival 2025
Mappu Apikarni Wilyarra-kka Payinti Wanjjal Warnaparrta
We come together to celebrate today, yesterday, and tomorrow.
From August 1st to 4th, Tennant Creek came alive as we celebrated culture, community, and creativity in the heart of the Barkly. This year’s theme, Mappu Apikarni Wilyarra-kka Payinti Wanjjal Warnaparrta, reflected the deep connections between past, present, and future that shaped an unforgettable four days of music, dance, workshops, and celebration.
The 2025 line-up featured incredible performances from:
Amy James, Arlywarre Desert Reggae, Barkly Nomadics, Bousta, Desert Diamonds, Desert Eagles, Dusty Feet Dance, Devaura, Desert Melody Makers, GK, Honky Tonk Disco, Jameson Casson, Jarra Jarra Dancers, Katanga Junior, Michael Connell, Possum Dancers, Pujjali Dancers, Sarah Pope, Sandridge Band, Troy Cassar-Daley, Work Camp Band, and the WMC House Band.

Save the date: Desert Harmony Festival will be back in August 2026 — and we can’t wait to celebrate with you all over again!
