Festival First Night set times here

Saturday 5th January will see Sydney explode… With a massive amount of free music and cultural events right around the city, that will see the people well and truly taking back the streets. Festival First Night is nearly here, check below for set times!

By now you would have heard about the massive street party hosted by none other than Fuzzy that will be taking place across two different stages in Martin Place and Phillip Street that will feature performances from Spank Rock, Chromeo, Plump DJs, Ajax, Lost Valentinos, Funktrust, Kato and Ember. But that’s only a fraction of what’ll be going on around the city: the sounds of tango, jive, salsa, rumba and waltz will be echoing through Hyde Park, Paul Kelly and Brian Wilson will be performing to thousands of thousands of people in the Domain, the laneways of Angel Place will be brought alive with beats and visuals from Uber Lingua featuring DJs, instrumentalists and a crew of multilingual MCs
