DAE Global proudly programmed the official nationa DAE Global proudly programmed the official national celebrations for the Australian Pavilion at Expo 2020 Dubai.

In addition to curating the full spectrum of daily entertainment across Expo’s six-month run, we also developed and delivered bespoke National Day programs for participating nations - none closer to our hearts than Australia’s.

The Australian Pavilion hosted an official ceremony and live performance program celebrating the depth and diversity of Australian culture. One of the highlights was Mitch Tambo’s powerful rendition of You’re the Voice in Gamilaraay language - a stirring fusion of contemporary and traditional sound that resonated with audiences from across the globe.

In this fast-paced, digital age, where streaming a In this fast-paced, digital age, where streaming and recorded content are in our everyday lives, live performances hold a unique, dynamic energy that cannot be replicated. There's an undeniable magic in witnessing a performance in person - whether it’s music, dance, puppetry, street performers, or all of it combined in large-scale ceremonies. The energy between performers and the audience creates a shared experience that is deeply emotional and personal, while also creating a unique communal atmosphere. The electricity created is something the audience feels – it’s alive and tangible.
