Dark Mofo 2027

Dark Mofo returns to Hobart from 9 to 22 June 2027, transforming Tasmania's capital into a celebration of darkness, art, music, fire and midwinter rituals.

Dark Mofo 2027

Presented by Mona, Dark Mofo is Tasmania's major winter arts festival, bringing together provocative contemporary art, live music, performances, large-scale installations and extraordinary communal experiences across Hobart.

The 2027 festival will open on Wednesday 9 June with The Gathering, a First Nations-led celebration, adding an extra night to the festivities.

Visitors can expect an ambitious program of art and music alongside the festival's much-loved midwinter traditions, with events taking place at venues and public spaces throughout the city.
