After staging a successful inaugural event earlier this year in Meanjin/ Brisbane, next month Blak Day Out returns for another instalment celebrating 'Blak excellence, Blak joy and Blak music'.

Blak Day Out presenters Loki Liddle and Alethea Beetson, of Blak Social, want to continue the energy from 2022 and throw another major event for mob.
"Our goal with Blak Day Out is to basically throw an epic party for the mob to start the year off right," Alethea and Loki says.
"It will be an opportunity to celebrate both local and visiting First Nations artists while continuing to contribute to the deadly First Nations music scene in Meanjin/ Brisbane.
"This is a day for us, where we can celebrate Blak music and have a ridiculously fun time with the people we love."
Other acts on the bill include Djanaba, Tjaka, SOLCHLD, Ethan Enoch, Keely and Alf The Great.
"Blak Day Out was the deadliest start to the year," event attendee Che Skeen says. "It was amazing to have an all Blak line-up of legends.
"This event pumped up the community and morale, everyone was talking about it for months and months. It was a highlight of 2022 for myself and so many mob. I have no doubt that it will only continue to get deadlier in 2023."
Blak Day Out takes place at The Tivoli (Brisbane) 21 January.
