A stylised, composite image overlayed with the text "MASSAOKE OZ". The top half of the image features a photo of 5 musicians, standing with arms elevated mid-clap, on a festival stage. In front of them is a large crowd of people many with their arms in the air, some holding phones aloft, one person appears (in silhouette) to be on someone's shoulders. There is large confetti falling on the crowd. Behind the musicians on stage are two large video screens reading "Don't stop believing Hold on to that feeling". The bottom half is a heavily saturated photo that appear to be taken as though the viewer is in a crowd at a rock concert. There are silhouettes of heads and arms with strong lights behind them. The entire image is saturated, and the colour levels are effected to feature predominantly hot pink, blue and white. There is a grainy quality to the background images, in comparison the overlay text is crisp.
A crowd of tightly packed people crowd the lower foreground, hands aloft. There are balloons falling from the ceiling, some of the members of the crowd appear to be bouncing them upwards. Above the crowd to each side are ornate royal boxes with a couple of people standing in them. The centre is filled with a well-lit stage, slightly obscured by the falling balloons and some haze diffusing some warm white stage lights. On the left of the stage is a femme-presenting person in white shorts and a pale cropped top, next to them are two masc-presenting people, one with dark short hair and a dark beard, the other is clean shaven with lighter hair playing a red and white guitar. Centre stage we can see a masc-presenting person wearing jeans and an open-shirt showing a bare chest, head tilted to the left in the appearance of ecstasy, behind him we see a masc-appearing drummer with fair shoulder length hair wearing a dark headband and black tank. To the right we see a masc-appearing person wearing a pale shirt playing a bass guitar, standing next to someone wearing a short, full white skirt that appears to be swaying in motion, both are half-obscured by a balloon in the foreground. Above the musicians appear two tv screens with identical text on them that reads "It's the leap of faith".
A large screen takes up the upper mid-ground emblazoned with the text "I bless the rains down in Africa". The camera angle appears to be positioned at the back of a deep stage, in the foreground to the right we see the back of a drummer wearing a black tank top, hair in a messy brunette ponytail, mid-play. To the drummer's left further down-stage we see the back of a keyboard player dressed in a textured t-shirt and light coloured fitting pants, he is playing a pedal with his left foot. To the right of him is a guitar player, legs akimbo dressed in a shiny jacket and pants. Some other speakers and roadcases appear in the bottom left corner of the stage. The stage faces out on a large crowd of people, some in the centre are well lit, others are shadows as it is nighttime. They are surrounded by a high-rise building on the left and lower multi story buildings in the centre and left hand side.

Presented by: Hey Boss & Massaoke

Hey Boss is a collaborative, award-winning production and management company working with cutting-edge, thoughtful and future-minded theatre, music, and comedy shows on the global festival circuit.

MASSAOKE started life in a London pub basement as a live band sing-along called Friday I’m in Love, with printed song sheets for the audience.

Within a few years they’d added the big screen and restyled themselves "MASSAOKE" - known for high-energy stage shows, extraordinary outfits and occasional celebrity guests. Larger audiences followed, including crowds of thousands at festivals like Glastonbury and Latitude, Edinburgh Fringe and Friday nights at The Scoop on the London’s Southbank, and touring the world from the US to Australia and all over Europe.
