It’s all on down south this weekend, as the MONA’s DARK MOFO enters its second weekend. While many of the ticketed events have sold out, there’s still plenty to be soaked up – like the Winter Feast, Dark Park, installations, and exhibitions. Wrap your mind around the enormity that is Dark Mofo at darkmofo.net.au
Staying in the capital, jazz and blues are on the menu at The Homestead on Saturday. Hobart group MANGUS & CO will be showing off material from their recently released LP Go Home, Go Inside, and Shut The Door. Catch the band, with supports, from 9pm. Entry is free.
Looking ahead, Fresh Comedy’s June edition will light up Launceston’s Royal Oak next weekend.

Tickets are available through Trybooking.com, from $15. Door sales, if available, are $20.

And for something completely different, DUNE RATS are in the state off the back of a European tour. The band will play Hobart’s Brisbane Hotel on June 24. Many of their shows around the country have already sold out – grab a ticket through Oztix.
The Launceston Jazz Club will bring some midweek entertainment to town when it hosts a show from THE BOOTE-LEGGERS later this month.
