Tribalism is our drumming students’ night to shine. Classes come together to share what they’ve been learning, play for family and friends, and finish with a big jam that brings everyone in.
Guest artists join the stage too, keeping things lively and unpredictable.
Tribalism is when our Melbourne drumming students come together to share their music.
Djembe classes and Middle Eastern percussion classes take the stage, playing what they’ve been learning in front of friends, family, and the community.
Bringing the best of grassroots drum and dance from across Melbourne, the event has a mix of student sets, guest performers, and plenty of energy.
It all finishes with a big jam, where everyone joins in for one last burst of music.
The next Tribalism will be held indoors at the Inkerman Hotel.
Bring family and friends and settle in for an evening of rhythm and great vibes.
When: Friday 23rd October 2026 from 7pm
Where: Inkerman Hotel – 375 Inkerman St, St Kilda East VIC 3183 (Map)
