Live at Odeon Theatre in Hobart: Tinariwen

About this event
The Tinariwen concert takes place on Friday, 26 February 2027 at Odeon Theatre, Hobart.
- Doors 19:30
There is a wistful yet joyous depth of feeling in Tinariwen’s music that is both universal and personal—an experience defined by struggle, exile and hope, expressed through the band’s unique blend of West African traditional music and electrified rock’n’roll.
Tinariwen are Tuaregs, children of a nomadic Berber tribe who have roamed the Saharan desert for thousands of years. Displaced by colonialism and the partitioning of ancestral territory, the band are in search of a homeland lost to them—a reality expressed musically through their fusion of desert blues with a spirit of honesty and resistance.

Following their 1970s origins in northern Mali, the band rose to prominence with The Radio Tisdas Sessions in the early 2000s before winning a Grammy Award for their fifth album, ‘Tassili’. Collaborations alongside the likes of Kurt Vile, Yusuf Islam (Cat Stevens), and Jack White have cemented Tinariwen’s status as a cult band and a living symbol of Tuareg poetry and resistance.
Returning to Hobart for the first time since a near-sell out show at the Odeon in 2024, Tinariwen are celebrating their tenth studio album in the spirit of their beginnings—a rawer sound and greater presence of female voices in a collaborative output that reflects the strength of their community.

About Tinariwen
Folk
Tinariwen is a collective of Tuareg musicians from the Sahara region of southern Algeria and of northern Mali, in the region of Azawad. Considered pioneers of desert blues, the group's guitar-driven style combines traditional Tuareg and African music with Western rock music. The collective first convened in the late 1970s and released their first studio album in the early 1990s. They began touring internationally in the early 2000s.
