The inaugural Listen Out Presents has been revealed: the organisation are “beyond excited” to be hosting Brazilian DJ and music producer Mochakk in Sydney.
The show, Mochakk Calling Sydney, will take place on Saturday, October 4th, at Fleet Steps, Mrs Macquaries Point, a location that serves unsurpassed scenery and immaculate vibes.
The musician gained international recognition after a viral TikTok video featuring his dance moves to PAWSA's Roll Play garnered 1.3 million likes. He has since been established as one of the world's leading underground artists and has appeared at major festivals such as Primavera Sound, Coachella, and Sónar. Renowned as he is for his electrifying live energy, the Mochakk show won’t be one to miss.
Presales for tickets begin on Tuesday, July 15th, at 10:00 a.m. Fans can sign up for early access to tickets at the link here. The show, which is for those 18 years old and above, will kick off at around 4 p.m.
The reveal of this special treat comes after the news that the Listen Out Festival would not be going ahead in 2025.
In a statement posted to their official social media accounts on Monday (July 7th), the organisers confirmed that they were “hitting pause on Listen Out as you know it.” The (hopefully temporary) loss of the festival is already considered another major blow to Australia’s festival scene, which has already been marred by cancellations and losses.

However, not all hope is lost, as it was announced that in place of the original festival, Listen Out Presents would be launched, offering “one-off, carefully curated parties in killer locations around Australia all year long.”
Though obviously suffering setbacks amidst the current precarity of the Australian live music ecosystem, Listen Out’s commitment to putting on thrilling shows to the best of their ability has clearly persisted. Or, in their own words: “We’re still here for the good times… Just in a new way.”
Thus, Mochakk Calling Sydney marks the launch of an exciting new era for Listen Out. Stay tuned for more from Listen Out Presents, who will be offering up carefully curated events for the rest of the year.
