World-famous Harlem Globetrotters heading to Territory

NT Government

Set the date! Iconic basketball team The Original Harlem Globetrotters will be stopping in Darwin as part of an Australian and New Zealand tour next year.

It is the first time in decades the global entertainment team will travel to the Territory, bringing a contingent of some of the world’s best basketball players to the Top End.

The Globetrotters have dazzled crowds with their skills, tricks and techniques since they began in 1926.

Today they travel the world, playing in sold-out arenas, delighting audiences of all ages and inspiring the next generation to take up the sport.

Territorians can catch the family-friendly show during the school holidays on Monday, 24 June 2024.

During their last visit to Australia in 2022, the Globetrotters drew massive crowds keen to see their exceptional basketball skills and showmanship, and a Territory audience can expect to be equally impressed.

The Globetrotter’s visit comes as basketball continues to soar in popularity across the Northern Territory.

Their Darwin visit is supported by the Northern Territory Government through the Northern Territory Major Events Company (NTMEC).
