More impressive events which you can look forward to at Vivid Sydney 2021 are ‘An Afro Future’ by Sampa the Great. The popular artist management and touring company, Astral People’, will celebrate their 10th birthday in August and as a part of the anniversary, Sydney will see an all-star lineup consisting of Cashmere Cat, Hiatus Kaiyote, Genesis Owusu, Cosmo’s Midnight and more. Additionally, we have King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard taking over Carriageworks for a huge five-night event. At the venue, you can also catch performances by artists like Jesswar, Tropical F#ck Storm, BARKAA, Amyl and the Sniffers.
In the previous year, we were completely starved of outdoor events, live music and concerts. These amazing performances are enough to keep us energised for the months to come. This year, the festival will deliver refreshing experiences that will provide a fascinating insight into the world of art, music and more, capturing the essence of Sydney’s uniqueness and vibrancy. Make your winter experience in Sydney memorable as ever with Vivid Sydney and celebrate innovation and creativity at its best.
