Friends, we’re excited to announce our 3rd Solace Groove @capers.thornbury - dedicated to First Nations sovereignty, solidarity and resistance.

Music:
✨ POLI-PEARL
✨ HYBRID MAN

Lock it in:
📍 Capers Thornbury
📅 Friday 30th October
⏰ 8pm–1am

$25 entry. Tickets via link in bio and available on the door.

A massive thank you to everyone who showed up over the weekend for our pre fundraiser @highnote_____ — we raised $2,702! ❤️‍🔥

100% of proceeds go directly to three First Nations-led orgs: @justfuturescollab , mobilising resources for climate justice; @childrensground , building a future for First Nations kids and families grounded in culture and self-determination; and @grassroots_ptr , supporting financial restitution and the struggle for Indigenous sovereignty.

We believe that community, culture and resistance belong on the dancefloor.

Free entry for Mob. Please DM to let us know.

We gather on the stolen, unceded lands of the Wurundjeri people of the Kulin Nation. Sovereignty was never ceded. This always was and always will be Aboriginal land. ✊🏽

Thank you to everyone who came to our first Solace Groove event for Palestine last week. Your generosity and love helped us raise an incredible $5,093.64 for the Gaza Clean Water Emergency Initiative which is providing clean drinking water to families across Gaza.

Together, we made a real difference, and we couldn’t have done it without the energy, solidarity, and compassion you brought to the event. Every ticket purchased, every raffle ticket sold, and every donation made is a step toward justice, humanity and an end to the genocide.

Big shout out to the @capers.thornbury family for hosting and supporting our cause, @wolfandswill and @goatbeer for the raffle prizes, and of course @djpossum_ , @navyblueradio , @tariqhawari for the tunes.

From the river to the sea, always was always will be.

With all our love,

NAVYBLUERADIO (@navyblueradio ) - Folarin and Langai, a talented duo who cultivate a unique sound which is sure to fill the dance floor. Their sets include a diverse mix of afro beat, chicago house, reggae, lovers rock and street soul.
