Overview
Now in its fourth year, the biggest annual winter festival in the Southern Hemisphere is back: Vivid Sydney is ready to transform the city for 18 days of light, music and ideas. Every night during the festival Vivid LIVE will kindle 50 art sculptures around Walsh Bay, The Rocks and Circular Quay.
Aside from the psychedelic projections, there will be free and ticketed events for Vivid LIVE and Vivid Ideas, recently ranked as one of the world’s best ideas festivals by the Guardian. Vivid ideas will showcase over 100 specialist events, including discussions, debate and workshops at the MCA's Vivid Ideas Exchange; a keynote talk from Chad Dickerson, CEO of Etsy; and a conversation with UK fashion talent Henry Holland.
Florence and the Machine and the Ceremonial Orchestra will be opening Vivid LIVE with a sold-out concert, Karen O from the Yeah Yeah Yeahs will present her "psycho opera" Stop the Virgens and Janelle Monae will be making her Australian debut with the ArchAndroid Orchestra.
