Overview
Each year, Vivid LIVE transforms the Sydney Opera House into a playground of sound and light. Luckily for us, 2025 is no different. From Friday, May 23–Saturday, June 14 the world's most-recognisable venue will become an immersive celebration of music's most-exciting names.
This year's lineup is stacked with international titans like ANOHNI & the Johnsons and Portishead's Beth Gibbons playing the majestic Concert Hall. Below ground in the Studio, Trackwork, DUNJ, dstreet and House of Mince are bringing the party vibes. For something more low-key and intimate, the Utzon Room is hosting performances from homegrown hip hop, R&B and post-punk artists such as 3%, SAXHL and G2g. And to top it all off, the Joan Sutherland Theatre is featuring explosive nights of genre-defying soundscapes, cutting-edge visuals and electronica with WavyLand's 7th anniversary with Thaiboy Digital and Oli XL and other special guests — as well as Pale Jay, the craftsman of soul-infused heartbreak, plus seminal British electronic group Sabres of Paradise.
Your Vivid LIVE night isn't complete without a moment under the Opera House sails, glowing with Kiss of Light — a kaleidoscopic, technicolour celebration of visionary Australian artist and activist David McDiarmid. Don't miss your chance to explore all corners of the Opera House during this exciting takeover.
Vivid LIVE at Sydney Opera House runs from Friday, May 23–Saturday, June 14. For more information or to book tickets, visit the website.
