Vanessa Worm - A Sound Experience - Nelson Arts Festival: CANCELLED

What would the love child of Courtney Love and The Gathering look like?

An absurdist club night. A ritualistic sound immersion. A song about being chased by bumblebees. Meet Vanessa Worm.

Pre-pandemic, Vanessa Worm was building a reputation as Melbourne’s most fearless stage presence—a party prophet delivering Dadaist sermons to dancefloors, with a mystical cauldron of dub vibrations through drum and bass spirit realms. Her tracks and devil-may-care attitude to genres have attracted the attention of international DJs, including her world-famous label bosses Optimo Music.

Making this Vanessa’s arts festival premiere, we are honoured to dive into this sonic ritual to open Nelson Arts Festival 2021.

A special Nelson Arts Festival commission.
