More than 300 artists will be part of the event, and joining the already announced The Flaming Lips will be Evelyn Glennie, Antonio Sánchez, DJ Krush, Jenny Hval, HERMESensemble, State Theatre Company of South Australia, Kate Miller-Heidke with the Tasmanian Symphony Orchestra.
It will take on a new format with bespoke events in venues around the city of Hobart between January 13-18.
“Mona is a power spot in Tasmania and we are thrilled to populate many of its nooks, crannies and spaces with music, art and sound this summer. During Mofo 2016, we intend to tickle all the senses at Mona and venues around Hobart, including on the ferry trip up the River Derwent from the waterfront to the museum,'' Mofo curator Brian Ritchie said.
Premier Will Hodgman added: ''If there’s anything we can expect from Mona Foma, it’s the unexpected. It is this eclectic element of surprise that draws tens of thousands of curious Tasmanians and visitors to the festival every summer.
''Mona will not only be an extraordinary stage for the performers this year, it will be a spectacle in its own right. Once again, the Tasmanian Government is proud to support Mona to deliver this cultural centrepiece.”
Mofo 2016 will take place at Mona, 655 Main Rd, Berriedale, Tasmania, as well as Hobart city surrounds.
