Festival First Night

Sydney’s city centre is transformed into an epic theatre of music, spectacle and surprise with Sydney Festival’s opening event – Festival First Night.

Start in the afternoon with family-friendly entertainment in Hyde Park, headlined by Kasey Chambers, Poppa Bill & The Little Hillbillies.

Explore the city after dusk to discover Big Bad Voodoo Daddy in Martin Place, 43 Rajasthani musicians in The Manganiyar Seduction in Hyde Park, the legendary Al Green on The Domain stage and much, much more!

Performances big and small will transform the city landscape into a remarkable summer playground – look up, look around and look out for the unexpected!
