Here's What The Huge Keep Sydney Open Rally Looked Like From Within

An incredible turn-out

Yesterday, an estimated 10,000 people took to the streets of Sydney to peacefully protest Sydney's draconian lockout laws for Keep Sydney Open, all the while having a blast listening to live music, socialising with friends and checking out the hundreds of rad signs and banners people created.

We sent our photographer Josh Groom into the depths of the rally to catch all the colour, creativity and passion at the heart of the movement, led by Tyson Koh, Urthboy, Hayley Mary of The Jezabels, Paul Mac and more.
