Australian pop at its freshest and finest takes over Tumbalong Nights with ARIAs chart-topper Mallrat and rising star Lyric, two experts of aching, irresistible anthems.
Catch coastal grooves, sun-soaked guitar-lines and soulful melodies with New Zealand-Australian pacific reggae band Coterie and magnetic indie act Velvet Bloom.
An electric night of defiant rock riffs, where feverish Melbourne post-punk collides with Eastern Ammatyerre glam-rock.
Tap into Asia’s underground post-hyperpop scene with three fast-rising stars, Chinese rappers Billionhappy and SEBii, and Korean-American artist and producer kimj — plus Melbourne trance DJ CLAIR.
In his first Australian tour, Korean chart-topping singer-songwriter SHAUN takes to Tumbalong Nights for an unmissable free concert.
A night of smooth, arresting R&B from two fast-rising Australian acts, ARIA Award-winning Central Coast star BOY SODA and Sydney teenager That Gurl Bella.
Big voices. Heart-soaring moments. Music you’ll recognise from the first note. Experience opera’s most electrifying favourites performed live and free — dramatic, joyful and a little bit cheeky. No prior knowledge required. Just brace yourself for goosebumps.
Get funky with Nigeria’s monumental Afrobeat act Seun Kuti & Egypt 80 and Indigenous-led high-energy trio Tjaka.
One of Jamaica’s most legendary reggae roots acts performs a special free concert, plus alluring Casio-gospel from Luritja Land.
Japanese electronica two ways: HUGEN, refined dance music tinged with traditional folk, and Niko Niko Tan Tan’s genre-defying groove and colourful visuals.
Sydney’s innovative underground takes Tumbalong Nights, with Skeleten’s cerebral dance music and Ashkan Shafiei’s jazz and funk-fused take on Persian folk.
Equally mesmerising in completely different genres, the two acts make for an eclectic but essential double bill, free for all to enjoy.
Friday 12 June: TBA
Two-time ARIA Award-winner and multi-platinum national treasure Matt Corby will take to the Tumbalong Nights stage to send off Vivid Sydney with a special free concert.
