The Lansdowne Hotel is gearing up to celebrate its one hundredth year of trade.
It is a monumental milestone, and the iconic Sydney multi-level music venue and hotel, which has hosted everyone from Billie Eilish to You Am I, is commemorating it with an absolutely stacked program put together by Good Intent.
The 100-Year Celebrations, taking place across the month of June, will see The Lansdowne host major acts such as Battlesnake, Cosmic Psychos, EGOISM, and more. On top of that, Motorik Vibe Council will be hosting 'The Late Show with Motorik!' every Friday night from 11 pm. until late.
The month-long party will also host showcase events from Psyched As., USFEST PRESENTS: NeX GEn, Beats Kitchen Records, Elevate (Ben Pierpoint Management), Variance, and much more to be announced.
Over the past year, Good Intent has been responsible for organising kick-on DJ sets from Fontaines D.C. and IDLES, and has hosted Spacey Jane, Miss Kaninna, Odette, Private Function, Yabun Afterparty, Keli Holiday, The Preatures, SXSW Sydney, Phoebe Go, Ocean Sleeper, POSSESHOT, Hockey Dad, Aleksiah and Tash Sultana. Suffice it to say, Good Intent knows how to organise a good celebration.

"The Lansdowne Hotel is as iconic, if not more so, than the Sydney Harbour Bridge and Opera House combined, in my opinion,” says venue booker Rick Bridgman.
“The unwavering passion of venue owners, promoters, artists, managers and bookers in Eora/Sydney over the past few years has been undeniable (fuck yeah), and we're keen to reveal a month-long celebration of programming across the musical spectrum, flowing between a range of genres and deep into the night!"
Bridgman adds, "Venues all over the country are doing it tough, with higher than ever running costs and many closing their doors. We need punters [to] help us to keep grassroots venues alive, as many venues, like us, are putting on live entertainment three-four nights a week – and a selection of these are free entry events.
“Our venue was a stepping stone for the careers of Billie Eilish, Lime Cordiale, Royel Otis – for many, you'll play your first gig here. Get out there, make new memories and mates, and you might discover your next favourite act along the way – if it's at The Lansdowne, that's even better."
