Surround Sounds presents Billabong Songs from noon Sunday 10 April.

An afternoon of live music from some of the country’s finest First Nations performers including BUMPY, Fred Leone, Deans of Soul, Geelong locals Loud n Deadly and renowned didgeridoo player Norm Stanley.

Taking place in the bowl of a once water-filled billabong in Johnstone Park on Wadawurrung Country, this one day event celebrates First Nations song, dance and ceremony.

Pack a picnic and experience First Nations music, culture and yarns; true highlight of the Surround Sounds Geelong and the Bellarine month-long music festival.

“Billabong Songs is a celebration of culture, taking place in one of the most serene open spaces in our region,” Councillor Eddy Kontelj, Chair of the City of Greater Geelong Arts, Live Entertainment and Hospitality portfolio said.

“This free event brings culture and community together in Geelong, here on Wadawurrung Country and we are so proud to be able to present Billabong Songs as part of Surround Sounds for everyone to enjoy and experience.”

Billabong Songs takes place on Sunday 10 April from noon to 5pm at Johnstone Park, Wadawurrung Country, Geelong. Entry is free and the event is family friendly.
