The Mullum Circus Festival today announced that it will henceforth be known as National Circus Festival, with its new name and branding officially unveiled alongside its early bird 2021 program announcement.

Beer and BBQ Festival rises from the ashes of 2020 in all its glory for the 2021 edition at the Adelaide Showground from Friday 23rd until Sunday 25th July.

Returning with a monumental music line-up, of over 100 local and national brewers, cider makers, distillers & winemakers, the biggest BBQ and chef line-up ever hosted at the event, and all MC’d by Australia’s infamous outlaw country-rocker, musician, radio & TV personality, Henry Wagons.

Shimmering with energy and emotion, the song pairs the resonant vocals of Niyati Libotte with the driving guitar of Gavin Rene Libotte (of Urban Gypsies fame) and the rhythmic bass and drums of ARIA award winner Jonathan Zwartz and James Hauptmann. The results soar to soulful heights and plunge into dark spaces to emerge defiant and courageous. Brighter Day navigates the personal demons we all face, but don’t have to face alone. It is a stirring work, celebrating how unconditional love and loyalty can help overcome the deepest suffering.

OF BOYS AND MEN (the men of shadows), is a raw and authentic disability-led dance-theatre production exploring themes of manhood and identity.

Following the collective experiences of five young male dancers navigating their worlds, Of Boys and Men traverses the performers owned experiences and unravels what it means to the performers, dancers, and young men living in today’s world with a disability.
