AviciiWith an extravagant stage and light display, rivalled only by the Swedish superstar's beaming smile, it was clear to see why Avicii is sitting on top of the charts and on top of the world.
Avicii was supported on the Sydney leg of his epic True Tour by some of Australia's hottest DJs – Will Sparks, New World Sound and Throttle – who played to a steadily growing crowd comprising the young, the old and the famous – with multiple celebrity sightings in the VIP areas including more than one of Rugby League's Burgess brothers.
The EDM giant opened with his latest hit, Hey Brother, just as the sun was setting and dark grey clouds were rolling in, creating an electric ambience that sent the crowd of thousands wild.
Avicii continued to please as he played for two hours to an ecstatic crowd that was happy to sing along and dance the night away. Le7els was a crowd favourite, trumped only by his closing number, Wake Me Up.
The megastar went out with an almighty bang, closing the night with an explosion of magnificent confetti bombs that rained down over adoring fans as fireworks lit up the sky overhead, leaving the crowd in awe and wanting more, Avicci having delivered what was sure to have been one of the standout concerts of 2014.
Police have praised the behaviour of the thousands of party-goers in attendance who were obviously there for the music and to kick off the Australia Day long weekend in style, rather than to get loose and out of control.
