Electric Fields captured lightning in a bottle as the internationally acclaimed headline act, delivered a powerful set that reminded audiences of why NSS is the premier live gig destination in the north.

Presented in the lead-up to National Reconciliation Week, the all-ages event honoured First Nations voices through performance, creativity and community.

The high-energy music festival saw locals and music lovers enjoy a multi-stage experience with live performances, food trucks and entertainment.

Mayor Glenn Docherty said it was an incredible day of culture and community connection. “Northern Sound System has built a strong reputation as a cultural and creative hub in Playford and beyond,” Mayor Docherty said.

“Its world-class status ensures our community can enjoy high-calibre live acts, including Electric Fields, best known for representing Australia at Eurovision 2024.”

“This event gave our young creatives a memorable experience in their own backyard.”

Electric Fields were joined by a standout line-up of celebrated First Nations artists from across Australia, including J–Milla, RIAH and Katie Aspel.

Following the event NSS will deliver two creative workshops for First Nations students: a songwriting and music development session with J–Milla, and a game development

workshop lead by Shannon Cross beginning on Wednesday 28 May.

“These workshops empowered young people to explore creative career pathways and learn from high-calibre industry talent,” Mayor Docherty said.

The event was funded through the Strong and Resilient Communities (SARC) program, delivered by the Australian Government’s Department of Social Services.
