KOOII CAMP OUT MAY 8-9 -10
Presented by Chai n Vibes, Kooii call out to join in a mini-festival style camp-out on the weekend of May 9th. Vitalize, and calibrate with the music nestled in the surrounding ranges of Springbrook in the Gold Coast Hinterland. It will be an opportunity to absorb the music with the breeze of the bush, the earth under your feet and the stars above. With a creek that borders where we’ll gather, and the warmth of the fires that we circle around, the time will be for connection with each other and that which breathes us.
Having filled their cup at the Woodford Festival, Kooii will share the next phase of their music, further deepening their character into a sound that rides on a wealth of rhythm—songs seeded by singer-trumpeter Peter Hunt and given life by all the members, seeking and finding belonging in the heart-opening of music.
​
The concert shall also feature Juman and the Riddum Squad as well as The Seeding; Juman, with her heart-open voice sailing through the many fields of her musical belonging, from RnB to Arabic and The Seeding, carrying the inspired vision and imaginings in song of keyboardist Conor Alexander and singer and lyricist Mia Bloom.Guests are welcome to camp on the night of the concert (Saturday 9th May), with the option of arriving early and staying on Friday 8th, and/or staying Sunday 10th as well.
