    Xani + Machine

    Explore looping, improvisation and creative play with electric violinist Xani

    Step into the sonic world of Xani Kolac; a violinist, composer, singer and improviser who is transforming what the electric violin can be. Armed with a loop station, a suite of electronic effects and her unmistakable creative fire, Xani builds vivid soundscapes that move between cinematic warmth, distorted edge and glowing electronic colour.

    This is Xani + Machine: a bold, immersive performance where layered strings meet manipulated vocals, where pedal‑driven textures collide with high‑energy violin shredding, and where genre boundaries dissolve in real time.

    Xani + Machine is perfect for lovers of live music that pushes the envelope, leans into experimentation and celebrates genre fluidity. Expect passion and grit, digital darkness and bright, soaring moments, along with songs that invite you to move, listen deeply and get swept up in the momentum.

    Join us for a performance that is inventive, fearless and entirely its own.

    Our pricing model

    As a non-profit, we prioritise bringing singing and music to our communities, not maximising income. We work to make our ticket prices as affordable as possible, and we’ve shifted to an early bird pricing model instead of concession pricing. This change focuses on equity, allowing everyone to secure tickets at a reduced price and helping us keep the festival accessible to as many people as possible.

    Each event will have a set number of tickets available at the early bird price. Once these are sold, standard prices will apply. This ensures we can cover event costs while keeping the festival sustainable and maintaining affordable options for our audiences.
