The album – which marked Midnight Oil’s first new music in almost two decades – features the voices of an incredible array of established and emerging Indigenous musicians including Jessica Mauboy, Dan Sultan, Alice Skye, Kev Carmody, and the late Gurrumul.
The Makarratta Live gigs will seek to elevate The Uluru Statement From The Heart which calls for a Makarrata – or “truth telling” – to account for the theft of lands and displacement of First Nations people.
Midnight Oil will take their Makarrata Live tour around Australia in February and March 2021. Tickets go on sale Wednesday 16 Decembe
