We’re proud to announce our headline performer Marlon to our Closing the Gap event 19th March at the Adelaide Show Grounds.

Marlon originates from the tropics of his Traditional lands of the Larrakia in Darwin, Northern Territory. Transitioning from a Professional AFL Career being drafted at the age of just 17, Marlon’s transformation into singer songwriter has catapulted into co-writing songs with Australian Hip Hop stars such as Urthboy, ‘YES’ with Rap/Hip Hop Powerhouse A.B Original, ‘Blak Australia Policy from the ARIA award winning Album of 3%, and most recently the smash hit ‘The Gift’ with Rap Giants Hilltop Hoods.

Marlon blends his early music influences of Michael Jackson with and more recent sounds like Miguel, Weekend and N.E.R.D to produce thought provoking, melodically moving lyrics with his captivating voice, challenging the status quo and capturing the story of his ancestral homelands, and the challenges of Aboriginal Australia.

Join us and enjoy this stand out performance.

Today marks the anniversary of the National Apology to the Stolen Generations.

Today we honour the strength, courage and resilience of survivors and their families. The Apology was an important step in acknowledging the wrongs of the past and affirming the enduring strength of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, cultures and communities. As we reflect, we continue to walk forward together – grounded in truth, healing and hope for future generations.

We also recognise that this day may stir up feelings for some in our community.
