on sunday the 4th of october, pica will breathe new life. reimagined into a multi-stage playground for your ears and your feet.

a celebration for the soulful persuasion. a one-day festival that moves through jazz, soul, hip-hop and its translation into the club continuum. eclectic, unbound and forward-looking, move my way brings together a cross-section of artists and communities connected through rhythm, movement and shared experience.

a festival that embraces diversity and interconnection - musically, culturally and across the dancefloor. It speaks to a generation shaped by openness, grounded in the belief that even in a polarising world, there is power in coming together.

more than a moment, it’s a signal. a window into the wide-eyed future of human potential - where boundaries blur, where exchange is constant, and where connection is everything.

built on community, driven by curiosity, and open to all, this is a reminder that the way forward is in moving together.

move my way - where strangers feel familiar. Come find what’s been calling you.

we acknowledge the wurundjeri woi wurrung people of the kulin nation as the traditional custodians of the land on which this festival takes place, and pay our respects to elders past and present. always was, always will be aboriginal land.

    Sampa the Great
    Zambia-born, Botswana-raised, Sampa’s upbringing continues to bear an influence on her music. Her debut album - “The Return” -ranges from classic hip-hop to ancient Southern African sounds. Built on four years of personal and musical soul-searching, it’s the product of meaningful musical connections and of Sampa redefining her self-identity away from the comforts of family and old friends. Album contributors include: Jonwayne, MsM (Skepta/BBK), Andrei Eremin, Silentjay, Kwes Darko (Slowthai), Clever Austin (Hiatus Kiayote), Blue Lab Beats, Syreniscreamy, Ecca Vandal and London jazz collective Steam Down. The Return, debut single “Final Form” and the live show have seen Sampa awarded many accolades, including Bandcamp’s Best Album 2019, the prestigious Australian Music Prize in 2019 (first and only artist to win twice), an ARIA for Best Hip Hop Release, two Triple J Awards for Video of The Year and Double J Artist of The Year, as well as Hip Hop Act of The Year at both the Music Victoria and National Live Music Awards. “The Return” has been championed by Annie Mac (Radio 1), Gilles Peterson & Lauren Laverne (6 Music), KCRW & KEXP; Pitchfork, The Guardian, Vulture, OkayAfrica, The Independent, Hypebeast, Crack Magazine and many more. Sampa recently wrapped a sold out Australian and European tour, performing at some of the worlds most iconic festivals, including Glastonbury, Splendour in the Grass, Laneway, Sugar Mountain, and more with more to come in 2020 including Coachella.
