SOFT CENTRE’s flagship multi-stage event erupts into the monumental White Bay Power Station with a stacked single-day program spanning radical performance art, adventurous club sounds, blistering A/V shows, site-responsive installations and durational spectacle. 

Highlights include Stelarc’s legendary biomechanical bodywork, an ecstatic somatic ritual by the mercurial Young Boy Dancing Group, 404.zero’s spatial hallucinations, and Klein’s surreal sonic poetics with net scraped visuals. The event premieres major new commissions such as CONTENT.NET.AU: The Musical featuring rising MCs Sidney Phillips, BAYANG (tha Bushranger), David Ketamine and kk88, Bhenji Ra x Karina Utomo’s WETAN, a charged invocation of ancestral memory and voice, and Excited State !!! - a supergroup exploring the frayed edges of Drum N Bass with live instrumentation.

From the shapeshifting club kinetics of S280F and C Bong Sae to first time international appearances by prolific rap experimentalist Pink Siifu and cult Vietnamese avant-rock band Rắn Cạp Đuôi, the lineup promises to traverse the ecstatic, the abject, and the unknowable. A cornucopia of cutting-edge art, SOFT CENTRE invites you to enjoy a lovely lobotomising day in the bowels of White Bay.
