Overview

HSBC Sydney 7s is returning for another year from Friday, February 1–Sunday, February 3, taking over the Spotless Stadium in Sydney Olympic Park for the first time. The three-day party weekend spans heaps of high-energy rugby matches, a live music lineup and fancy dress aplenty.

This year, the tournament will feature its very own music festival, with a dedicated tent set to host live acts across the weekend. Headliners include Tkay Maidza, DJ Tigerlily, L-Fresh The Lion and Yolanda Be Cool, with heaps of supporting acts on the docket, too.

As always, 20 of the world's best international men's and women's rugby sevens teams will go head-to-head to be crowned the tournament champions. The stakes are high for both Aussie teams this time — not only are they defending their 2018 titles, but also fighting for entry to the 2020 Olympics (the top four teams at the end of the HSBC World Series will be at the games in Tokyo next year).

Plus, one of the best aspects of heading to a rugby 7s day is the chance to don a silly outfit. There's no theme this time round, so use it as an opportunity to show off as much team pride as you can muster. Grab your mates, start planning your get-ups and get prepared for a full on weekend of festivities.

Single day passes start at $37 and two-day passes at $60. Both include entry into the stadium and festival tent. Plus, you'll get free train travel to and from the stadium all weekend — just show your ticket at the barrier. To purchase tickets, head this way
