Punters can look forward to witnessing the last hurrah with the almighty Cat Empire on 21 Jan in Parramatta Park, who will be performing one final show with their all original line-up. 

The Teskey Brothers have re-imagined their beloved catalogue to perform with Orchestra Victoria at the International Convention Centre on 15 Jan. 

One of Sydney’s most iconic pool locations, the Andrew (Boy) Charlton, will be sound tracked by critically acclaimed UK producer Leon Vynehall between the 06 and 09 January. 

Artists such as Amyl and The Sniffers, King Stingray, Jaguar Jonze, B Wise and Friends, Tropical Fuck Storm, Hope D, Barkaa, Gordi, and many more will be performing across venues in Greater Sydney across the month. 

Artistic director Olivia Ansell stated, “We are thrilled to reunite artists with audiences this summer, unleashing a compelling and diverse line- up of world class performing and visual arts experiences to be enjoyed outdoors, indoors and online. Sydneysiders and visitors alike can rediscover their city differently, through a contemporary, immersive, irreverent and imaginative lens.” 

“With 24 shows in Western Sydney and programming from Cronulla to Campbelltown, we are truly taking over the city like never before and my hope is that our 2022 program will play a crucial role in restoring culture safely to our city”
