Dozens of unmissable shows and parties make Sydney the only place for music lovers this August
Like so many other events, Sydney's Vivid Festival was cancelled in 2020.
This year, they make up for lost time by programming one of the most impressive Australian line-ups that fans of high quality, cutting edge music are likely to see.
The bill is a daunting series of highlights, with artists across genres getting in on what is truly a celebration of the most exciting artists around right now.
Here are just a few highlights to begin with:
- A five-night residency from prolific rock monsters King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard
- The world premiere of Sampa The Great's An Afro Future show
- The debut of a new supergroup, Springtime, featuring Gareth Liddiard, Jim White and Chris Abrahams
- The return of revered NYC/Australian noiseniks Liars
- A solo piano performance from the great Angie McMahon
- Huge line-ups like Golden Features and Hermitude, Briggs and Friends and more
- The annual lighting of the sails, with a soundtrack by Electric Fields
The Sydney Opera House is again the home of Vivid LIVE, which will host a large amount of the music on offer this year.
This is where you'll experience the tenth birthday of management and touring company Astral People, with special guests Hiatus Kaiyote, Cosmo's Midnight, Genesis Owusu, Young Franco, Mildlife, Milan Ring, CLYPSO, Becca Hatch and international guests DJ Seinfeld and Cashmere Cat, among many more.
It's where Sampa The Great will perform her already announced An Afro Future show. And where Gareth Liddiard, Jim White and Chris Abrahams will debut their new band Springtime.
It's also where the likes of Future Classic, Mad Racket and Picnic will throw big parties, featuring big sets from some of the nation's best DJs. And where Club Kooky will throw a massive open-air party by the harbour.
And it'll be the venue where you see individual shows from *deep breath* G Flip, Briggs and Friends, Golden Features & Hermitude, Gordi, Methyl Ethel, Miiesha, The Necks, Georgia Maq, Flight Facilities, Budjerah, Liars, RVG, Tiny Ruins, HTRK, Skeleten and so many more.
The iconic sails of the Opera House will be lit up with a new digital artwork called Yarrkalpa – Hunting Ground, created by the Martu Artists and Sydney-based Curiious. Accompanying the lighting of the sails will be a soundtrack by the brilliant Electric Fields and Martu Artists.
We're not even close to finished.
Over at Carriageworks, the party continues with some of the country's best getting set to make plenty of glorious noise.
King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard will perform 75 songs over five nights, with no songs repeated.
Amyl & the Sniffers will bring their incendiary show back to Sydney for the first time in far too long.
Tropical Fuck Storm also return, launching their brand new album conceived and created in COVID lockdown.
Two of the best rappers in the country also set up shop at Carriageworks: Jesswar will smash through two shows at the venue, proving why she's always been held in such high regard and why she's only gonna get bigger.
The following night, Malyangapa, Barkindji rapper Barkaa will show why everyone reckons she's one of the most powerful new voices in this country's scene.
That venue will also host the Open Frame event, which will feature a line-up of artists who explore the boundaries between sound, noise and experimental music.
As if that's not enough, two of the country's best up and comers, Kee'ahn and Babitha, will perform a special show together at the City Recital Hall.
