Nearly a year ago we all made the pilgrimage into the dead centre of Australia for Blacken Open Air. A festival born out of The Black Wreath, a metal institution providing a home for artists in the desert with a live music venue, studio and record label all under its umbrella. This space means so much to the people who live in Mparntwe/Alice Springs and the broader metal/punk/rock community across the continent. Blacken is probably the most remote (and best) festival in the world attracting a loving and passionate group of people from far corners of the globe. 

Right now they need your help! A crowdfunding campaign has been launched recently to raise enough funds to secure the location The Black Wreath HQ sits on… and TODAY IS BLACK THURSDAY. Every donation made today will be matched dollar for dollar (up to 50k). If they achieve their goal it will secure the future of live music in the desert and allow The Black Wreath to keep putting on incredible festivals. We don’t want to see it go into the hands of greedy developers and want to see more amazing events and a space for musicians to hone their skills for generations to come. It would seriously help if you can pick up a shirt or a ticket to their next event or maybe even become a life member!

I was lucky enough to be asked to shoot the last Blacken and here are a selection of photos to show proof of how sick this event is. Seriously the best location and curation I’ve ever seen from a festival. I hope to be back soonπŸ€˜πŸ–€
