In support of patrons unable to access the event site due to unprecedented rainfall, the Broken Hill Mundi Mundi Bash have rallied to put on a series of free pop-up concerts across Broken Hill and Silverton.
Mundi Mundi Bash Festival Founder and Managing Director of the Outback Music Festival Group Greg Donovan said: “It was devastating to not be able to get everyone into site because of the ground condition, and we really wanted to do something for the people we couldn’t get onto our festival site.”
“We have 10,000 people out here enjoying the full event line-up, but there were thousands we couldn’t get in despite our best efforts.”
“We’ve been blown away by how the performers have jumped in to help us give those who couldn’t make it into site a taste of what we had planned for them out here.”
“Every one of the pop-up gigs have been supported by the artists who are all giving their time for free.”
The pop-up program kicked off Wednesday night with Furnace & the Fundamentals rocking the Palace Hotel, last night at Silverton Hotel – Shane Howard, Troy Cassar-Daley & Adam Thompson (Chocolate Starfish), and at Palace Hotel – Shane Howard & Troy Cassar-Daley.
The free entertainment continues tonight at Palace Hotel – Hot Potato Band and tomorrow night at Palace Hotel – Fanny Lumsden.
While the pop-up concerts will give patrons who are now camped in and around Broken Hill, as well as Broken Hill locals, the chance to experience the spirit of the Bash in town, activities and performances at the Mundi Mundi Bash site continue as scheduled for the 10,000 patrons on-site.
