Dark Mofo to return in 2025Hobart, Australia

Alert everyone you know, Dark Mofo is set to come back on full throttle in 2025 (did you miss it?) That’s right, next June in Hobart is looking more wild than wintery.

If you don’t know what Dark Mofo is, first of all, where have you been, and second of all, it’s Tasmania’s dark, weird and downright rebellious festival. It opens its eccentric arms to all the misfits, art lovers, and thrill-seekers looking to dive headfirst into the Dark (Mofo).

It may have taken a small hiatus, but its back with a bigger vengeance than you’ve ever seen - think firelit ceremonies, spine-tingling art installations, boundary-pushing performances and a Winter Feast that’s part pagan bonanza, part foodie heaven.

Don’t get it twisted, this isn’t some backyard shindig. Artists from around the globe descend on Australia’s southernmost city to create an experience that’s both unsettling and unforgettable, and no, we’re not just talking about the infamous Nude Solstice Swim. Night Mass will also make its return alongside the Ogoh-Ogoh.

While the full festival program hasn’t been released just yet, the anticipation of the boldest thing Tassie’s produced since the Mona's vulva wall is enough to whet your appetite. So, grab your mates (and a little bit of bravery) and get ready to embrace the bizarre. Because when the lights go off and the thermals come on, Dark Mofo will be waiting to welcome you into its beautifully twisted heart. Where you’ll probably stay. Until June 2026.
