Mullum Roots Festival Kicks Off with Gala Opening Concert

Jeff Lang

The Mullum Roots Festival will open its inaugural weekend with a celebratory Gala Opening Night at the Mullumbimby Civic Hall on Friday 11 July - a feel-good evening of music, community and dancing that sets the tone for the weekend ahead.

Hosting the evening is none other than local icon Mandy Nolan. A powerhouse of wit and insight, Mandy will bring her trademark humour and irreverence to the stage, guiding audiences through a night of stellar performances.

Headlining is acclaimed guitarist and storyteller Jeff Lang, whose raw, blues-infused sound has made him a fixture on the national touring circuit. Also taking the stage is the ever-inspiring Biggest Little Town Choir, bringing their signature spirit and soaring harmonies to a special hometown performance.

The night rounds out with a full-blown party as local 10-piece big band Soul’d fires up for a high-energy finale. Bring your friends, bring your dancing shoes - this is one night you don’t want to miss.

Festival Director Lou Bradley says the night reflects the heart of the festival: “We wanted to start the festival with something joyful and inclusive. What better way than a night of incredible music, community voices and good vibes in the Civic Hall?”

Doors open at 6:30pm | Show starts 7:00pm | 18+ event
