In July 2025, Recycled has the exciting opportunity to take part in the Festival of Voices! Festival of Voices is Australia's leading celebration of singing and the first winter festival in Tasmania, attracting audiences of 30,000 people in the June / July school holidays to be enriched by voices raised together in song. Touring is a wonderful part of musical life and we are delighted to be offering this opportunity for our Recyclers - it will be Recycled's first interstate tour since 2018!
Dates: Tuesday 1 July - Sunday 6 July 2024
