Down Under: The Songs That Shaped Australia

Presented by We Rally Creative and STATE OF PLAY

Multi-award-winning music sensation returns to FRINGE WORLD to present a celebration of Australian hit-makers and the songs that spurred change throughout history.

After winning the award for Best Music & Musicals performance in 2024, Down Under: The Songs That Shaped Australia (formerly known as Mixtape Australia) is back with breathtaking performances for three nights only. 

Australian music is vast and varied; it captures the beauty and brutality of the land with storytelling at the forefront.

For lovers of Aussie music - this is a moving celebration of the artists whose guts and determination shaped Australia's musical history with beautiful storytelling layered throughout.
