Koori-oke Open Mic & Scratch night is for your newest, roughest, freshest idea. It’s a safe place to try out things no matter your experience level.  We are welcoming EOI’s from First Nations Artists at any stage of their career/practice. It’s all about getting on stage and seeing what might happen.

Koori-oke Open Mic and Scratch night is open to all First Nations Artists, Aboriginal, Torres Strait Islander, Māori, Pasifika and First Nations people from other countries. Your First Nations heritage is personal to you. You do not need to provide proof as part of the registration process.

We can accommodate solo artists and group acts from any performing genre. We can’t wait to hear what you have in mind.
