Grammy-nominated Kamilaroi artist The Kid LAROI, German electronic artist Nils Frahm and Japanese cult favourite Boris have been announced as part of the jam-packed line-up for Dark Mofo 2022.

They join other acts including Robert Aiki Aubrey Lowe, Baxter Dury, Lingua Ignota, the Tasmanian Symphony Orchestra, Hymns to the Dead and founding member of Sonic Youth Kim Gordon, plus many more.

The iconic festival is bringing back celebrations of the dark through large scale public art, food, drinks, music, art, fire, light and noise to light up Hobart.

One of Australia's most significant modern artists, Sir Sidney Nolan, will feature in the exhibition For the Term of His Natural Life at Detached Hobart, with works on crayon and paper addressing exile and oppression.

The two-week event will take place between June 8-22, with Festival Creative Director Leigh Carmichael saying the event is about rejoining and coming together.

"This year's festival is a celebration of coming together again, to listen to some music, see some art and eat at the Winter Feast," he said.

"As the cultural world re-emerges from the darkness of cancellations and lock-downs, we are all experiencing a rebirth, of sorts. The forced isolation gave rise to a re-evaluation of what matters, to new ideas, new dreams.

"We've assembled over 100 artists from 30 countries, from Australia to Belgium to Kyrgyzstan, and look forward to bringing them to Hobart this winter. We're just grateful to be able to present a full festival program again."

The sumptuous banquet known as the Winter Feast will rise again on the Hobart waterfront, to liberate the shackles of normality and unleash the primal. The feast's stallholders will be announced in May.

The festival also heralds the return of its two-evening nightclub extravaganza, this year titled Night Mass: Transcendence, taking over central Hobart's In The Hanging Garden precinct, with a huge and diverse program to be announced soon.

The Ogoh-ogoh returns with the festival's Balinese-inspired community ritual to purge and then burn our fears, this year taking form as a giant Tasmanian Masked Owl.

The Nude Solstice Swim returns, offering renewal and resurrection to those courageous enough to participate.
