15 Pics From the Blak & Deadly First Nations Gala Concert at Sydney WorldPride 2023

Blak & Deadly First Nations Gala Concert

Sydney WorldPride 2023 has drawn to a close, but the two-week celebration proved Pride is about more than a kiki party and a fabulous costume.

Each event at Sydney WorldPride 2023 began by honoring and acknowledging the Gadigal, Cammeraygal, Bidjigal, Darug, Dharawal, and Awabakal people and Torres Strait Islanders as the land’s traditional custodians. And Sydney WorldPride did more than pay mere lip service to their history and artistic contributions.

The Blak & Deadly First Nations Gala Concert centered LGBTQ+ aboriginal and First Nations artists at the famed Sydney Concert Hall. Hosted by the sassy Steven "Faboriginal" Oliver, the concert featured artists like Jessica Mauboy, Electric Fields, Casey Donovan, and Kween Kong.

Keep scrolling to see our fave curated pics from the Blak & Deadly First Nations Gala Concert at the world famous Sydney Opera House.
