Urthboy, Jane & Elgusto – Indent Ten Year Tour – NSW All Ages shows

Headlined by one of Australia’s finest hip-hop artists, Urthboy, with Jane & El Gusto, each event is supported by emerging local artists. In each location, Indent is working with teams of young people (12 – 25 year olds) who manage the event completely – from programming, logistics and site management to making sure the word gets out.

Tour headliner, Urthboy says, “Some people think the music industry is a great big mystery, especially when you’re not from the city. This tour will be great because during the day we help demystify aspects of the business and during the night we play some crazy all ages shows. I’m really happy to have teamed up with Indent on this and I hope they pack the Berocca.”
