Sydney Gig Guide: The Best Live Music To See This Month

By Genevieve Muratore 28th Mar 2024

With major Aussie festivals being binned in 2024 due to low ticket sales, there's no time like the present to get out and support Sydney's live music scene.

Whether they're local acts or up-and-coming internationals, there is an excellent lineup of loud and local gigs to catch in April, crisscrossing heaps of genres and styles. Gather your crew and get planning, these are Urban List's top gigs to see in Sydney this month. 

Roundhouse, Kensington

American-Korean artist Eric Nam probably doesn’t have much left on the bucket list. He’s already ticked off artist, musician, actor, TV personality, entrepreneur, GQ Korea ’s Man of the Year, and an inclusion on Forbes 30 Under 30 Asia. 

And his millions of Spotify listeners are ready for him to bring the house down when Nam returns to Australia and New Zealand this month with his House On A Hill Tour. Tune in to his K-Pop-meets-R&B sound, and round up your mates for a night at the Roundhouse.

THE DETAILS

When: Tuesday 2 April, 7.30pm Where: Roundhouse, Kensington Tickets: Here

Sex on Toast

The lansdowne, chippendale.

Time to get toasty at the Lansdowne this month. If you like your muffin buttered and your hair teased to the nines, this nine-piece 80s-funk and soul-inspired ensemble is just for you. 

Like a self-aware Hall & Oates, the mischievous Melbourne group has sold out East Coast tours and sexed up festival stages, from the Melbourne International Jazz Festival to the Melbourne International Comedy Festival. If their choreographed arrangements and tongue-in-cheek/hairspray-in-hand vibe are anything to go by, this jazzy gig will be a retro night for the history books.

When: Thursday 4 April, 7.30pm Where: The Lansdowne, Chippendale Tickets: Here

Emily Wurramara

Waywards at the bank, newtown.

Contemporary blues and roots musician Emily Wurramara is just as much an advocate as she is an artist. Having received accolades, award nominations, and streams in the millions since her 2016 debut, she has also shared the stage with some of the greats including Midnight Oil, Mavis Staples, Rob Thomas and Jack Johnson. 

And as her star rises, she is even further refining the power of her lyrics to effect change for good. See her at Waywards this month for a show that will give you tingles with its vocal, lyrical, and melodic magic.

When: Friday 5 April, 7pm Where: Waywards at the Bank, Newtown Tickets: Here

Club Liaison

Civic underground, sydney.

Client Liaison , the award-winning Australian electronic/indie pop duo who are bringing back the fun of 80s and 90s house music, is on their first-ever DJ tour—and we want in. 

Describing their sound as “faux-fi”, it’s a very specific version of Australiana—think Farnsey, Tina Arena, and a smattering of early 90s TV commercials that are indelibly burnt into our memories like the proverbial sunburnt land. These cool clientele have the sounds, fashions and references to give you a trip down the best part of memory lane this month at their Club Liaison event.

When: Friday 5 April, 8pm Where: Civic Underground, Sydney RSVP: Here

Liberty Hall, Moore Park

Anuv Jain , the indie-music sensation from Punjab, India, was catapulted to stardom when his 2018  single Baarishein went viral. Arming himself with a guitar, a ukulele and his angelic voice, he began pursuing music full-time off the back of his sudden success. 

Lyrically he focuses on storytelling about heartbreak but even if you don’t speak the language, the message translates beautifully through melody. Jain drew a massive twenty-thousand-strong crowd at the Delhi Beat Street Festival, and his first tour of India sold out in all 10 cities. Get tickets for his Liberty Hall show this month before this show follows suit.  

When: Sunday 7 April, 7pm Where: Liberty Hall, Moore Park Tickets: Here

Leah Senior 

Phoenix central park, chippendale.

Enter the ticket ballot this month for a chance to see festival staple and folk roots favourite, Leah Senior . This is the go-to gig for soothing tunes and autumnal escapism. 

Joining King Gizzard and The Lizard Wizard on a Cananda/US tour in 2022, Leah Senior has played the iconic Red Rocks and Berkeley Theatre venues and supported some prestigious performers in the folk and indie roots scene. Her turn at Phoenix Central Park is one to catch for a more intimate experience of her ethereal vocals and laid-back tracks.

When: Tuesday 9 April, 6.30pm and 8.15pm Where: Phoenix Central Park, Chippendale Tickets: Here

Young Franco

Metro theatre, cbd.

Kicking off the Smirnoff Future Fresh series in Sydney is Young Franco —one of the most in-demand producers and DJs right now, with a whopping 50 million streams of his uber-cool dance jams that blend the best of hip-hop, pop and electro. The Future Fresh series features artists headlining shows across the country, and hand selecting two emerging artists who will get the chance to be their opening acts, plus receiving industry mentoring to move their music to the next level. Not only is this an awesome platform for emerging artists, but tickets to a Future Fresh gig mean you’ll be getting in on the ground floor with some amazing up-and-comers. 

When: Friday 12 April, 7pm Where: Metro Theatre, CBD Tickets: Here

JamNation & Funk Four

Lazybones lounge restaurant & bar, marrickville.

Get your kicks with a cover band at Lazybones Lounge. Bringing their signature style to favourite tracks from Prince to Whitney Houston, Motown to Bruno Mars, the seven-piece performance powerhouse JamNation will have you shaking off the week in a feel-good flurry. 

Their high-energy set list will keep things cooking until Funk Four takes to the stage to make you double down on the dancing. These maestros come from a long and illustrious musical pedigree, and will close out the night with a passionate live performance that will funk you into the wee small hours.

When: Friday 12 April, 7pm Where: Lazybones Lounge Restaurant & Bar, Marrickville Tickets: Here

Noah Dillon

The vanguard, newtown.

Before embarking on a European tour in May, singer-songwriter Noah Dillion will stop off at The Vanguard to share his indie rock/alternative folk songs with Sydneysiders. 

You might remember him from his turn at Splendour in the Grass, and this show will be a perfect chance to reacquaint yourself with his raw, cathartic, and ultra-Aussie sound. There’s something a bit nostalgic and pub-rocky about this one - Dillon’s music finds the magic in the mundane and is best enjoyed with a beer in hand and a mate by your side. 

When: Thursday 18 April, 5pm Where: The Vanguard, Newtown Tickets: Here

Kid Congo & the Pink Monkey Birds

Oxford art factory, darlinghurst.

Kid Congo Powers has one of the coolest rap sheets in the biz —he was a founding member of The Gun Club, guitarist for The Cramps, and recorded and toured with Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds for four years. 

Now coming to Sydney with the Pink Monkey Birds to celebrate their first full-length album as a three-piece (but teasing a “surprise secret weapon” which won’t be revealed until the show) we can’t wait to see what other tricks they have up their sleeves. 

When: Thursday 25 April, 7.30pm Where: Oxford Art Factory, Darlinghurst Tickets: Here

The Bures Band

Low 302, surry hills.

The Bures Band is traveling Australia to celebrate their new single, The Pilot . And now it’s time for an intimate stop at Low 302, the Surry Hills gem known for cozy gigs, great vibes, and fab cocktails. 

The Perth quintet mixes American folk rock and blues, and their vocal harmonies will have you seeing the heavens - think Simon and Garfunkel, if there were four Garfunkels. The new single is laid-back and lovely, and will perfectly close out your month cocktail-in-hand, in comfy contemplation. 

When: Thursday 25 April, 7pm Where: Low 302, Surry Hills Tickets: Here

Chris Stapleton

• Music, Folk, country and blues
• Qudos Bank Arena, Sydney Olympic Park

Time Out says

The country megastar is headed Down Under for the first time ever

If you’re a country music fan, you’re almost guaranteed to be familiar with Chris Stapleton. For those of you who are less familiar, let us assure you that Stapleton is a certified big name on the scene. He’s collaborated with Justin Timberlake, Bruno Mars and Ed Sheeran, not to mention his work with none other than Taylor Swift for the re-recorded version of her song ‘I Bet You Think About Me’. 

The Kentucky-born star has won ten Grammys, 15 Country Music Association awards and 10 Academy of Country Music awards – placing him amongst the most celebrated musicians in the United States. Now, Chris Stapleton has announced that he’s finally touring Australia and New Zealand for the first time ever in early 2025. 

When is Chris Stapleton in Sydney?

The legendary country muso will close out his tour Down Under by playing at the Qudos Bank Arena on Tuesday, March 4, 2025. So far, Stapleton has only announced a single show in the Emerald City, but we’ll be keeping our eyes peeled for any additional dates. His Sydney show is Stapleton’s last stop on the Aussie leg of his tour, which will also see him perform in Melbourne and Brisbane on February 25 and February 28, respectively. 

How can I get tickets to the Sydney Chris Stapleton shows and how much do they cost?

The Live Nation presale starts at 11am today (Thursday, April 11) – keen country beans can register here . General sales kick off on Friday, April 12 via Ticketek , also at 11am. 

What will the Chris Stapleton Sydney show be like?

We’re expecting Chris Stapleton’s Sydney show to be like a massive campfire sing along, if reviews of the US leg of his All American Road Show tour are anything to go by. There’ll likely be a mix of acoustic songs and full band numbers, including plenty of hits from Stapleton’s latest album Higher .

Who will the Sydney Chris Stapleton support acts be?

Chris Stapleton will be supported by Grammy-nominated blues and Southern rock artist Marcus King, who is an American star in his own right.

Arts & entertainment, design & style, travel & leisure, search concrete playground, blink-182: australian and new zealand tour 2024.

The Californian band have reunited with Tom DeLonge for a huge world tour — including playing Sydney.

'I Miss You' isn't just the name of a beloved blink-182 song. It isn't just a track they're busting out on their 2024 tour Down Under , either. It's also the vibe being felt around the band in general, based on how popular tickets to its 2024 Australian and New Zealand tour have been proving — but there's still seats available.

In 2022, blink-182 revealed that they were reforming their classic lineup of Tom DeLonge, Mark Hoppus and Travis Barker, then hitting the road — and that Aussie fans would get their chance to see the end result live in February 2024. Sydney's dates, at Qudos Bank Arena with Rise Against in support: Friday, February 16–Saturday, February 17 and Friday, February 23–Saturday, February 24.

For three decades, blink-182 have been the voice inside punk and rock fans' heads, especially in the late 90s and early 00s thanks to albums Enema of the State and Take Off Your Pants and Jacket . Accordingly, expect to hear everything from 'Dammit' and 'The Rockshow' to 'What's My Age Again?' and 'All the Small Things' live.

Now that they're back together after DeLonge left the band in 2015, blink-182 are also recording new music together, with single 'Edging' out now — and on the setlist.

For headline superstars  

Some of the world’s biggest stars have graced stages across Sydney, and you’ll find top performers, like Taylor Swift and Paul McCartney, playing stadium shows at Allianz Stadium in Moore Park and Accor Stadium at Sydney Olympic Park . Nearby, Qudos Bank Arena draws more big names, as does ICC Sydney , at Darling Harbour . For more intimate shows – but no less iconic – the Sydney Opera House is home to seven different stages right on the harbour. On balmy summer nights the Domain offers alfresco and often free shows on its stage between the Royal Botanic Garden Sydney and the Art Gallery of NSW , and has welcomed legends such as Kylie Minogue, Arctic Monkeys, RÜFÜS DU SOL and more.   

Art for All Concert , The Domain

For local acts and indie names  

Inspired by Andy Warhol’s 1960s New York nightclub The Factory, Oxford Art Factory is one of Sydney’s top live music venues and has launched the careers of many local artists. You can now see international acts, up-and-comers and local DJs in the dynamic venue’s two performance spaces. The Enmore Theatre   is the longest-running live music venue in NSW, drawing crowds for more than 110 years. For more lively options, enter the mosh pit at the Roundhouse or The Metro Theatre for high-energy rock bands or see international acts at The Hordern Pavilion or a diverse range of performers at Liberty Hall, both in Moore Park . In the west, the Sydney Coliseum Theatre brings in Australian stars as well as the occasional big name.  

Oxford Art Factory , Darlinghurst

Then there’s the more under-the-radar spots. Local bands tend to make their names at local venues, and you can find performance spaces in the most unlikely spots. The Marrickville Bowling Club is a sunny venue where both lawn bowl pros and social bowlers get together for a game by day, but at night it’s a legendary live music spot with up-and-coming acts, album launch shows and epic parties. Dee Why RSL has reinvented the traditional sport club to become a modern bar and restaurant with a performance space for DJs, live music and dance. In Chippendale , Phoenix Central Park is an intimate inner-city venue hosting everything from solo piano recitals to opera or experimental sounds in its curvy, timber auditorium.

There are also a range of pubs that draw in local acts and the occasional international name. Bondi ’s beloved Beach Road Hotel is a classic example, also check out the line ups at The Lady Hampshire , The Botany View , Hustle and Flow (good for hip-hop), Crowbar (for metal), The Vic on the Park and The Lansdowne . 

The Lansdowne Hotel , Chippendale - Credit: The Lansdowne Hotel

For jazz lovers (and more)  

In Marrickville , the cosy Camelot Lounge   specialises in jazz and folk music. It’s also one of the few Sydney venues where under 18s are welcome, so long as they’re accompanied by an adult. Just around the corner is Lazybones Lounge , offering live music seven days a week. Golden Age Cinema & Bar (part of the Paramount House complex) has a small, moodily lit space with a buzzing atmosphere and wide range of acts on Fridays to Sundays. While Tiva creates a luxurious atmosphere to watch both Australian and international jazz and indie acts with its menu of cocktails and Champagne.  

Band performing at Camelot Lounge , Marrickville

For cabaret and drag  

Home of the Mardi Gras, Sydney has been famous for its drag shows for more than 50 years. Oxford Street is a LGBTQIA+ hub where you’ll find drag shows at Universal and Sydney’s oldest drag stage, Stonewall . Stop by The Imperial Erskineville from Wednesday to Sunday for a Drag ‘n’ Dine show at this legendary LGBTQIA+ spot. At Mary’s Underground just near Circular Quay you’ll find a diverse line-up of performers, from emerging bands to cabaret. At The Vanguard in Newtown you can watch both local musicians and impeccable burlesque acts grace the stage set within a stylish performance space surrounded by luxe velvet curtains.  

The Imperial Erskineville , Erskineville

For dance music and DJs  

If you’re in the mood for a late-night party, Sydney has options across the city. The ivy – an inner-city club that has a space for every mood. On Saturdays, LGBTQIA+ night Poof Doof takes over with queer DJs, drag performers and pop stars. For a transformative experience, each Sunday Lost Paradise throws a mini-version of its tropical electronica festival. In Darlinghurst , basement bunker Club 77 offers a heavy-hitting mix of industrial, techno and house. In Western Sydney, El Patron is a high-class party hub with a luxurious menu and top-shelf tequila alongside local R&B and high-energy DJs. The Albion Hotel in Parramatta transforms from a relaxed pub into a raucus nightclub come Friday and Saturday nights.

For festival-lovers  

Sydney loves an outdoor music festival. After the biggest party night of the year, New Year’s Eve, Field Day , offers grassy knolls and a variety of sounds on the first day of the new year at the Domain. At St Jerome’s Laneway Festival , held in late summer, expect big names in the indie, pop and electronic scenes. If reggae is your jam, drop into Jammin , a small summer or early Autumn festival that has attracted Sean Paul, UB40, Shaggy and Sean Kingston. On 26 January every year Koori Radio transforms Victoria Park into Yabun , where you’ll find a bustling marketplace and a mixed-genre lineup of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander artists.   

Laneway Festival , Sydney Olympic Park - Credit: Daniel Boud

For hip-hop heavyweights, Light it Up is a one-day festival at Sydney Olympic Park in spring. Good Things Festival brings some of the world’s biggest punk, metal, emo and rock artists in the world to Centennial Park near the end of the year and Festival X offers a one-day electronic dance music party at Sydney Showground in summer. And don’t miss the music line-up during Vivid Sydney , which lights up the cityscape and stage with a diverse mix of international acts and emerging local artists during late autumn and winter (with plenty of free shows, too).

Tones and I Announces Australia & New Zealand Tour

The chart-topping aussie artist brings her headline tour down under later this year.

Tones and I is bringing her headline tour down under this year, following her win at the 2024 Shure Rolling Stone Australia Awards . 

The chart-topping Aussie artist will kick off her shows in Sydney before heading to Newcastle, Auckland, Brisbane, Townsville, Fremantle, and Melbourne this August and September (see full dates below). 

Tickets go on sale to the public on Monday, April 15th at 12pm local time. My Live Nation members can secure tickets first during the My Live Nation pre-sale beginning 12pm local time, Friday April 12th until 11am local, Monday, April 15th.  For complete tour and ticket information, visit: livenation.com.au or livenation.co.nz

“The support and love around Australia and NZ has been so incredible! My live show is something I hold very close to my heart and is the best representation of who I am. I’m so grateful to be embraced by people around Australia and NZ! I hope people leave feeling part of something, love Tones,” says the multi-platinum artist.

Known for her mega hits “Dance Monkey” and “Fly Away”, Tones and I recently wrapped up a 20-date stadium tour supporting P!nk across Australia and New Zealand. Now, she’s making her big return as a headliner, marking three years since her last headline tour on our shores.

There’s no denying the fact that Tones and I has had an absolutely stellar few years. Her breakout “Dance Monkey” saw her become the first female artist to reach three billion streams on Spotify with one song, and has held a spot in the “Top 10 Most-Streamed Songs of All-Time on Spotify”. While her debut, Welcome to the Madhouse , toppled the Australian Chart at #1 in 2021.

At the 2024 Shure Rolling Stone Australia Awards , The Rolling Stone Global Award went to Tones and I ahead of Vacations, Tame Impala, Kylie Minogue, Troye Sivan, and more.

In her acceptance speech, the one-time Rolling Stone AU/NZ cover star said: “Thank you so much. I’d like to thank my team for all the support. Wow, this is an incredible award to win, up against such an icon in Kylie Minogue who helped pave the way for women in pop music on a global scale.”

Australia concerts in 2024: here’s a list of shows and tours coming up

Big names confirmed for tours Down Under in 2024 include Coldplay, Pink, SZA, Hozier, Iron Maiden and more

Fresh out of a pandemic, Australia’s 2023 touring calendar was one of the busiest in recent memory, as artists of all stripes took centrestage everywhere from stadium shows to intimate local gigs. With a starry schedule that included the likes of Post Malone , Red Hot Chili Peppers , and Mötley Crüe , it’ll be tricky for 2024’s schedule to outdo its predecessor – and yet, thanks to the likes of Taylor Swift , Blink-182 and Pink , plus Coldplay, Pearl Jam and SZA later in the year, it’s poised to do just that.

From debut headline shows for breakout artists to bustling festival sideshow programs, there’s something for everyone to enjoy as a stellar batch of musicians make their way Down Under in 2024. Read on for NME’s roundup of all the biggest concerts and tours coming to Australia this year.

Here are the concerts and tours coming to Australia in 2024:

Pink When: February 9 – March 23 Find tickets and more info

Australia bloody loves Pink , and she’s apparently pretty fond of her “home away from home” too. In 2009, she played 58 shows here as part of her Funhouse tour, performing for some 660,000 fans. In 2013, when she announced an Australian tour in support of sixth studio album ‘The Truth About Love’, 320,000 tickets were snapped up within a few hours of them going on sale.

It makes sense, then, that the American singer-songwriter has a slew of dates booked for her return in February and March 2024 as part of her Summer Carnival world tour . She’ll be bringing songs from her ninth studio album ‘Trustfall’ to stadiums around the country, including stops in Sydney, Newcastle, Brisbane, the Gold Coast, Melbourne, Adelaide and Perth.

She’ll be playing a total of four shows at Melbourne’s Marvel Stadium and conclude the tour at Townsville’s Queensland Country Bank stadium.

• Depeche Mode

Aussie Depeche Mode fans are an incredibly patient bunch. The last time the British synth-pop titans toured the country was in 1994, meaning nearly three decades have passed since they last paid us a visit. But good things come to those who wait, and it seems there is a glimmer of hope for those hoping to catch the band Down Under.

• READ MORE: Depeche Mode: every single album ranked and rated

In March 2023, Depeche Mode’s Dave Gahan told an Italian blog that the band were eyeing “as-yet-unannounced dates in Asia and Australia” as part of a touring run that would lead into 2024. The band have toured the world in support of their latest album, ‘Memento Mori’ , and a trip to Australia to cap off the jaunt seems more likely than ever.

Dad of young Swiftie fan who captured hearts around the world at Sydney concert shares heartbreaking health update

The father of a young Swiftie who fulfilled her dying wish to meet the pop superstar during her Eras tour has issued a heartbreaking update on his little girl’s health.

The father of a young Swiftie who got her dying wish to meet the pop superstar during her Australian tour has issued a heartbreaking update on her condition.

Perth girl Scarlett Oliver captivated the country at Taylor Swift’s superstar Eras tour, seeing her idol perform after securing tickets to the Sydney show at Accor Stadium earlier this year.

She had only been given 12-18 months to live after being diagnosed with an aggressive form of brain cancer known as high-grade glioma.

In a life-changing moment, the nine-year-old was also given one of Swift’s trademark black fedora hats during the performance of her song, 22, and given a hug.

The encounter was shared across the world by fans on social media.

But in a heartbreaking twist after Scarlett’s brush with fame, her parents have revealed she may only have “weeks rather than months” left.

In a statement on Instagram, her father Paul said his “beautiful” child had not been doing well recently.

He said much of the school holidays had been spent in hospital due to complications with a feeding tube, vomiting and “extreme tiredness”.

“Last night after discharge from hospital she suffered a significant seizure and was rushed to hospital via ambulance,” Paul told his Instagram followers on Friday.

“She has now stabilised but remains in hospital very unwell.”

He explained oncology doctors had delivered the grim news about Scarlett’s dire prognosis.

“Her birthday is on May 7th and they have concerns that she will not get to enjoy that,” Paul said.

“I just want to see my baby smile and laugh if only for a little while. We are all struggling to comprehend how we are where we are.”

Scarlett’s family have revealed they have been overwhelmed with birthday cards for their little girl – which she would begin reading on Sunday.

“Thanks to each and every person that took the time to do this for her,” Paul said.
