Carriageworks x Vivid Sydney — CANCELLED

Overview

UPDATE: Friday, August 6, 2021 — In light of Greater Sydney's current COVID-19 situation, Vivid Sydney has been cancelled for 2021 and plans to go ahead next winter instead. For more information, visit the event's website. For more information about the status of COVID-19 in NSW, head to the NSW Health website.

Consistently offering some of Sydney's most thrilling live music and art experiences, Carriageworks has outdone itself for Vivid Sydney this year. Punk group Amyl & The Sniffers are set to bring their brand of breakneck raucousness to the venue on August 20. Influential MC and proud Barkindji woman Barkaa, rising neo-soul star Akosia and experimental Brisbane band Tropical F*ck Storm are also on the music program.

The headliner grabber, though, is Melbourne's prolific King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard, who are rattling through their bumper catalogue over five consecutive nights (August 22–26), each with a different genre as its theme. If that wasn't enough, Cantina OK!  will be gracing the venue as a part-bar, part-nightclub and part-artwork pop-up from Thursday, August 19 to Saturday, August 28.
