Sydney Tower Eye Announces Massive Vivid Live Music Lineup

Rooftop bars are so last season. If you're still heroically bracing a trembling Aperol Spritz against a fifth floor Autumn wind-battering on one of Sydney's dying summer days, here's an alternative for you: a new way to get high and party, and this one's much more spectacular. From May 26 to June 17 as part of Vivid Sydney, the Sydney Tower Eye is launching Eye Live Project — a program of live music nights, 250 metres above the city, against a jaw-dropping 360-degree view.

Sydney label Etcetc, propelled by ex-Ministry of Sound talent Aden Mullens, will kick things off on May 26 with a lineup featuring infectious sun-soaked house from POOLCLVB, as well as the badass, vintage electro-funk of Luke Million, who caused a stir with his take on the Stranger Things theme. The same weekend will also see The Eye unveiled as a neon Tron-like playground for Discovery — Australia's Daft Punk Tribute show.

Touch Sensitive, with his cult-favourite cosmic beats, headlines the rollover into June, alongside electronic DJ sets from vocalists Elizabeth Rose and Annie Bass. An all-nighter with Dr Packer — remix-king of old-school soul, disco, hip hop and reggae — follows on June 3, and sets the vibe for intoxicating club pop DJ KLP's set the following weekend.

There'll also be raw, electronic RnB from Thandi Phoenix and beats from one of Australia's biggest names in getting down, Ministry of Sound's DJ Samrai, to see in the final weekend, before Heaps Gay take the wheel for a massive sky-high finale. Headliner Brendan Maclean will perform a live set alongside a host of Sydney DJs and vibrant performers, sending off the Eye Live Project in a whirlwind of glitter and spectacle.

Adding to Vivid's already formidable events program, the Eye Live Project is the first of its kind at the Sydney Tower Eye. With a strict venue capacity of 200 and a secret headliner still to be announced, tickets are set to sell fast.

The Eye Live Project takes place on Friday and Saturday nights between May 26 and June 17. For more information, head to the event website.
