2. Echoes of Pink Floyd
We don't need no education.
Echoes of Pink Floyd is headed to Wagga for the very first time. The Adelaide tribute has been garnering attention since they began in 2009 .
Several years in development and having accumulated over 5000 hours of rehearsal time to perfect these songs, Echoes of Pink Floyd comprises a six-piece band.
The band prides themselves on nailing the music note for note.

3. Adele and Amy Songbook
Amanda Canzurlo, known on stage as Bloom, is headed to Wagga with her Adele and Amy Winehouse cover show.
Better than Netflix and cheaper than therapy are the two reasons Bloom said Wagga should come to her show. With reasoning like that, it’s hardly a show to be missed.

4. Amy Hamer Exhibition
Michelle Hamer’s I am Part of a Living City is a survey exhibition of her past work, currently displayed at the Wagga Art Gallery.
I am Part of a Living City includes works exploring highly localised Australian street language through to markers of some of the most conflicted border zones in the world.
In an era of divisive politics Hamer’s work holds onto more subtle readings and mis-readings as it negotiates socio- political landscapes.
The works consistently explore the fears, aspirations of everyday life through the lens of the artist’s own personal challenges as the slow gridded nature of her practice contrasts with the easily overlooked moments captured.
Her hand-stitched and drawn works occupy a space between 2D and 3D, and have variously been described as ‘needlepoint paintings’, ‘stitched photographs’, ‘handmade pixellations’, and ‘tapestry photos’.
The exhibition will be on display in the Margaret Carnegie Gallery at Wagga Art Gallery until August 26.
5. Chasing Comets
The ‘greatness’ of Wagga will be showcased in a new Aussie film set to hit cinemas in August.
Chasing Comets is produced and written by former football player Jason Stevens who chose to set the film in Wagga.
The premise of the film follows the bad choices Chase Daylight makes, which negatively impact his footy career and his relationships.
At his lowest point, Daylight takes a leap of faith to sort out his life and so the story unfolds.
The film opens in Wagga this Sunday. For more information click here.
