Overview
Picture this: chill tunes, cool drinks and tasty snacks as a cruisy Saturday arvo ends with a sunset on Sydney Harbour. That's got the vibe meter maxed out on our end. And this is more than just a pretty picture — it's a little something called Cockatoo Island Sunset Sessions, which runs every Saturday evening from January 21 until April 1. If you're not familiar, the Sunset Sessions live music series (formerly known as Campfire Sessions) is a Sydney summertime fave. Each session sees a pair of up-and-coming acts perform in the twilight serenity of Cockatoo Island against the spectacular backdrop of Sydney Harbour.
The 2023 series spotlights home-grown Aussie, LGBTQIA+ and First Nations talent, including Hayley Mary, Aodhan, June Jones, Carla Geneve, Ashli and Dominic Breen. It's a diverse and multi-genre lineup suited to just about any music taste. And you don't need to worry about the trip home after because you can stay the night in Cockatoo Island's waterfront campground, which caters to different group sizes and levels of luxury.
The best part? You can win an overnight experience for two during the 2023 Sunset Sessions series. The prize includes a double pass to a performance of your choice and a Deluxe Camping Package for two (that's all of the camping and none of the work), valid for an overnight stay in the island's award-winning campground. Quite the summer date night, no? Enter the giveaway below:
