DRIFT - NAFA 2026

Forget everything you think a concert should be. DRIFT transforms Tobruk Pool into an immersive floating playground of music, art and tropical energy as part of the North Australian Festival of Arts.

Part pool party, part live music event and part dreamscape, DRIFT brings together an eclectic lineup featuring Australian electronic duo Hermitude, Northeast Arnhem Land indie-electronic group Drifting Clouds, acclaimed percussionist Benjamin Walsh and DJ and multidisciplinary artist Mie Nakazawa.

Float, swim, dance or simply soak up the atmosphere as live music, immersive art, shimmering lights and euphoric beats come together around the water. With hundreds of people moving, dancing and drifting through the pool, this is a one-of-a-kind North Queensland experience designed to get you out of the everyday and into the moment.

Come for the music. Stay for the magic.
