Red Bull Music Academy Weekender Is Coming to Sydney
Four days. Multiple Sydney venues. We're on board.
Sydney will join the likes of Tokyo, Warsaw and Vienna, when the globally acclaimed Red Bull Music Academy Weekender hits the harbour city in September. Making its first ever stop in Australia, the four-day travelling festival will welcome a collection of internationally recognised artists for a series of live shows, club nights, lectures, parties and art exhibitions at some of Sydney's best-loved venues. Sounds pretty bloody terrific to us.
Set for September 8-11, the Weekender lineup remains under wraps for the time being, with the first names expected to drop on Tuesday, April 26 before tickets go on sale on Thursday, April 28. The full program will be released in June. Organisers have promised the event will celebrate "the many elements and unique counterparts to the city's musical and cultural identity."
The Weekender is one of many events to have spun-off from the Red Bull Music Academy, which boasts an 18-year history fostering musical talent and collaboration around the world. In Australia they've hosted club nights featuring the likes of Onra, Romare and Taylor McFerrin, and presented stages at Laneway and Splendour in the Grass.
The Red Bull Music Academy Weekender hits Sydney on September 8. Keep your eyes peeled for a first look at the program on April 26.
