Improvised music trailblazers and one of Australia’s great cult bands - The Necks - return to home soil following a sell-out European tour for a string of dates in February and March 2024. Renowned for creating immersive, hypnotic concert experiences, The Necks slowly conjure luminous soundscapes over the course of their live performances that leave audiences mesmerised.
Before stepping on stage, nothing is planned or discussed between the trio. They walk on and they start playing. Their commitment to the simple concept of truly “letting the music take care of itself” is at the core of their unique sound and their ability to create exciting, engrossing music for themselves and  their audiences for more than 30 years. No two Necks concerts are ever the same.

Long-term fans of this unique band come back time and again for their annual fix, but if you haven’t heard them before, catch them on their 2024 Australian tour.

Every concert by the trio still feels startlingly and resplendently fresh. The only constants are the three players, their instruments and the silence that bookends each improvised musical journey. Everything else is unplanned, unrehearsed and unrepeatable.” Jessica Nicholas, The Age (2023)

"The Necks have consistently made improvised music that changes shape before your ears—often so gradually that the transformations are nearly imperceptible” The New Yorker (2023)
