The summer festival season gets pretty crowded, but if you’re looking for something different next year you need to pencil March 8 and 9 into your calendar. That’s when Panama takes over the forests of north-eastern Tasmania.
Panama looks to provide a point of difference with Australian and international bands and sideshows of bebop, jazz, soulful dance music, and cabaret acts. The bill’s only just starting to take shape, but Tassie will welcome The Daptones’ Charles Bradley, local heroes Husky, and vintage rockers The Frowning Clouds. That eclectic early bill gives you a bit of an idea of the diversity this festival will celebrate.
It’s also not your usual overcrowded festival with people who want to be seen and warm beer. It’s an event which cares about music, so you’re going to have great sound and an intimate gathering rather than a massive throng of punters. Limited tickets for Panama will go on sale on December 1 from the festival’s website.
