The Crescent Summer Series 2020 — POSTPONED
Enjoy everything from an electronic music festival to an orchestral performance under the stars at Parramatta Park this summer.
Overview
UPDATE: MARCH 30, 2020 — Due to government restrictions on public gatherings, the final event of The Crescent Summer Series, Under the Southern Stars, has been postponed. We'll keep you informed on a new date for this event when it's announced.
Parramatta Park is serving up another jam-packed lineup of international and local musicians for its annual Crescent Summer Series this season. Now in its fourth year, this collection of festivals, concerts and parties — many of them free — is a great opportunity to take advantage of the warm days and balmy nights across summer (and beyond).
The 2019 happenings will wrap up with a free New Year's Eve bash on December 31. The all-ages event will include rides, food trucks and performances across three stages from the likes of local indie rock group Jackie Brown Jr and five-piece group Soul Movers.
Next up, flute-playing diva Lizzo and modern-day boyband Brockhampton will take the stage as part of the highly anticipated FOMO 2020 on Saturday, January 11. If you missed out on tickets to Lizzo's Sydney Opera House gig (which sold out in minutes), this one-stage festival is your saving grace — but you'll need to nab tickets ASAP.
The following week, on Saturday, January 18, the park will shift genres for Sydney Symphony Under the Stars. Part of the city-wide Sydney Festival, this free concert will see Sydney Symphony Orchestra, led by conductor Benjamin Northey, perform compositions by Beethoven, John Williams and Tchaikovsky.
On Saturday, March 7, the park will host electronic music festival Ultra Australia featuring the likes of Afrojack, DJ Tigerlily and Markus Schulz. Finally, the series will wrap up with epic rock carnival Under the Southern Stars on Saturday, April 4, featuring Bush, Stone Temple Pilots and Live.
