This November will see the annual Gigs in Space music festival held at East Coast Tasmania’s Spring Bay Mill (SBM) site in Triabunna, on Saturday 6 November, from 12pm.
DJ Act Natural Theia Connell
The event, held on aboriginal paredarerme people land in the grounds of what used to be the world’s largest wood chip mill, will feature a female-led line-up of Tasmanian musicians, food and drink, a three-course dinner for hungry listeners and a stunning view out across the bay to Maria Island.
“Spring Bay Mill was once the world's largest woodchip mill but is now a sustainable events space with an extensive landscape regeneration mission,” explains SBM spokesperson Madeleine Rojahn.
Street Funksters Baba Bruja
The afternoon’s music line up will include New Orleans-style funk band Baba Bruja, female improvisers FFLORA, and Tarkine-born singer Claire Anne Taylor.
Also featured will be turntable titan Theia Connell (DJ Act Natural) who will ‘create euphoric dancefloors and inclusive atmospheres with house beats and bent melodies’ to smooth your ears as the afternoon progresses.
There will of course be ‘the best east coast food, bevs and booze’ on offer too, dotted amongst the 12,000 trees and shrubs and native grasses that have been planted since work started in 2018, many of them rare and threatened species.

SBM’s restored industrial buildings and unique performance spaces will act as the perfect backdrop to showcase how the operators are regenerating the original natural landscape, growing wholesome, healthy food, reliving live entertainment and taking the land back to the people.
“Gigs in Space was born amid the pandemic, but our specially curated, intimate performances in our wide-open spaces show how art can thrive in any circumstance,” says Rojahn.
