There’ll also be plenty of other artists upping the BPM over on the Dance Stage including Mashd N Kutcher, PARIS, dameeeela, Linda Marigliano, Tyson O’Brien, Juno Mamba, Latifa Tee, Mulalo and Tiff Cornish.
Ability Fest was created by 2022 Australian Of The Year Dylan Alcott in conjunction with Untitled Group and is Australia’s first all-accessible music festival.
To date, the not-for-profit event has raised just shy of $500,000 for the Dylan Alcott Foundation, helping young Australians living with a disability to fulfil their potential.
“I’m so proud to see the path Ability Fest has already paved for inclusive events across the country,” Alcott said in a press statement.
“First and foremost, our main priority is to create a kick-ass festival that happens to be accessible. And that’s something I think we’ve achieved since launching in 2018.”
