SUTRA X ABUNDANCE
For the first time, the Sutra Sunrise family joins forces with Newcastle’s Abundance crew for a very special gathering, the official launch of Sutra Music & Arts Festival 2026. ✨
Two crews. Two Rooms. One night.
Sutra has always chased something beyond the music - synchronicity, connection and lasting moments.
Abundance was built on the same instinct. Rising out of Newcastle's underground, their story has carried them from warehouse nights to sold-out floors and the birth of Euca Festival - always chasing the same feeling: something real, something shared.
Now those two worlds meet under one roof. 🪷
