King Street Carnival
King Street Crawl has expanded into a three-day festival spread across multiple inner west venues featuring 1300, Dante Knows, Liyah Knight, Big Skeez, Ultracrush, Party Dozen and special guests.
Overview
Update Monday, March 7: Due to severe weather warnings for the weekend, King Street Carnival has been forced to cancel its two outdoor stages at Camperdown Memorial Park and Sydney Park. Refunds will be provided for the ticketed events. The in-venue gigs in the style of King Street Crawl will still go ahead across all three days. The festival is working to secure indoor performance spaces for some of the artists on the original outdoor lineup. Keep an eye on the King Street Carnival Instagram for up-to-date information.
Before 2020 turned the world upside down, King Street Crawl was a yearly tradition. After taking the last two years off due to COVID-19, the inner west institution is returning with a massive new three-day event pushing out from King Street and into neighbouring roads and two idyllic outdoor spaces.
King Street Carnival will run across the weekend Friday, March 11 and Sunday, March 13 throughout Newtown's main road as well as Enmore Road, Erskineville Road, the Sydney Park Amphitheatre and Camperdown Memorial Park.
Heading up the outdoor concerts is legendary group Yothu Yindi who will share the headlining spots with the likes of Rolling Blackouts C.F., Sarah Blasko, Middle Kids, Stella Donnelly and Ratcat among others at Camperdown Memorial Park throughout the weekend.
Over at Sydney Park, Horrorshow, Confidence Man and You Am I are topping the bill, accompanied by Barkaa, Young Franco, King Stingray and Tropical Fuck Storm. Sydney party mainstays Heaps Gay and Inner West Reggae Disco Machine will also be taking over the park's Brick Pits throughout the weekend.
This year, the Camperdown Memorial Park and Sydney Park Amphitheatre showcases will be ticketed. Tickets are on sale now, starting at $55 for a Friday-only past and increasing up to $137 for all three days. However, if you're strapped for cash, never fear, as King Street Crawl's usual array of free gigs will still be stretching out along King Street and across the inner west, with local artists like 1300, Dante Knows, Liyah Knight, Big Skeez, Ultracrush, Party Dozen and Good Pash taking to the stage across the weekend.
Check out the huge (and we mean huge) lineup at the King Street Crawl website.
