Overview

If crossing the Harbour Bridge is part of your daily routine, you might want to look up on Thursday, September 26. To help celebrate 21 years since BridgeClimb Sydney started letting folks scamper up to great heights, Diplo will be scrambling up top, busting out his decks and spinning some tunes — becoming the the first-ever high-profile international artist to perform atop the towering structure.

The US DJ, songwriter and producer will be in the country to perform at the Listen Out festival across late September and early October, but has added this sky-high gig to his itinerary. That said, just what time he'll make the climb and how long he'll play for haven't been revealed. And no, sadly you can't buy tickets to attend.

Instead, you can keep an eye out for footage afterwards, with the stunt designed to get folks talking about BridgeClimb. The company is certainly keen to mark its 21st birthday in a big way — earlier this month, it announced a sale on climbs, throwing back to 1998 by offering tickets for $98. Unsurprisingly, they've since sold out.

While Diplo will become the first super-famous musician to get beats pumping 134 metres above sea level, he will follow in the footsteps of plenty of other famous faces who've previously made the climb, including Ben Stiller, Hugh Jackman and Heidi Klum.

Diplo will play on top of the Sydney Harbour Bridge at an undisclosed time on Thursday, September 26. While tickets aren't available, you can keep an eye on BridgeClimb Sydney's Facebook page for footage.
