Summer in Sydney isn't just good for swimming and sundowners. It's also the best time of year to get out and about and catch some live music. For that very reason, Merivale is throwing a series of free (yes, free) warm weather gigs across Sydney. Dubbed See Sound, and presented in conjunction with Furphy, this season-long live music program will take place every weekend at Vic on the Park (plus Bondi's The Royal and Coogee Pavilion).
If you live in the Inner West, the Vic on the Park is probably already one of your local haunts — and your pup's, too. It might be best to leave Fido at home this time, though. You'll want full danceability as the See Sound series takes over The Vic's stage from 8pm every Friday night.
On Friday, December 21, Absolutely Everybody — a monthly party night that usually takes place at fellow Inner West pub The Landsdowne — is switching locations for its end-of-year bash, the Chrisco Disco Bonanza. This special set will feature pysch-pop duo World Champion, pop trio Baby Beef and DJ duo Fox Force II.
And the good music vibes are spilling over into other days on Vic on the Park's calendar, too. Head down from 12pm on New Year's Day for a recovery Furphy and lineup of performances from Amyl and The Sniffers, Straight Arrows, Candy and Neighbourhood Void.
