Paradiso at Town Hall

Overview

Maybe names like Nicolas Jaar and Lindstrøm make you go all fangirl, or maybe you'd rather party on after a show instead of ruminate on it, or maybe you just want to experience what exactly a Hot Dub Time Machine is. If any of the above sound enticing, Paradiso is where you'll be spending a lot of time during the tail end of January.

The pop-up takes its name from the iconic Amsterdam rock venue, and it sits in the 125ish-year-old Town Hall. But aside from one detour in a time machine, the vibes are geared towards Sydney circa now. An expertly curated selection of DJs host post-headliner dance parties until 2am, and if it's a school night, the free-entry Paradiso Bar on the terrace is a prime spot for an after-work/pre-show drink. Light hot meals are available there, too.

It all kicks off on January 18 at 8pm with special event Dance from Rokia Traore, who's sold out her Spiegeltent and City Recital Hall shows. Entry is always free after 11.30pm, so check the program to see which post-show acts are worth scheduling in a hangover for.
