Dan Sultan returns to rock the 2024 Karijini Experience

Dan Sultan, the ARIA-winning alternative rock singer-songwriter, is poised to return to the Karijini Experience in 2024, bringing his unique blend of music back to the heart of the Pilbara region. Sultan, known for his dynamic performances and significant contributions to Australian music, will perform at the Yurlu Lounge alongside some of Australia’s leading Indigenous performers on Sunday, April 7, marking the grand finale of the celebrated four-day Pilbara Aboriginal cultural festival. Sultan’s journey is marked by notable achievements, including winning Best Male Artist and Best Blues & Roots Album at the 2010 ARIA Music Awards for his album Get Out While You Can. His 2014 album, Blackbird, further cemented his status by winning Best Rock Album and reaching number four on the ARIA Albums Chart. Born in Melbourne to an Irish father and an Indigenous Australian mother, Sultan’s rich cultural heritage has deeply influenced his music and persona. His early life experiences across Australia have infused his work with a profound sense of identity and belonging. The Karijini Experience, organised under the Banjima Native Title Aboriginal Corporation (BNTAC), celebrates the cultural significance of the Pilbara region and its traditional owners, the Banjima People. The festival, running from April 4 to 7, offers a diverse array of art, culture, music and food events. Event manager Richard Campbell has revamped this year’s layout to enhance the main stage and activations, creating a vibrant village atmosphere. The festival will also feature performances by the Bradley Hall Band, Broken Tides, and Alice Skye. For tickets and more information, visit www.karijiniexperience.com.
