The Red Bull Music Academy’s flagship event, the Red Bull Music Academy Weekender, is happening again in Sydney next month.

2016 was the debut year for the festival in Sydney, with 11 electronic music gigs taking over venues as diverse as Carriageworks, Cake Wines Cellar Door and Palace Verona, alongside The Domain, which hosted a massive show from Flight Facilities with the Sydney Symphony Orchestra.

The RBMA Weekender takes place annually in a number of cities around the world, including locales as far removed as Tokyo, Warsaw and Johannesburg.

This year’s Sydney program will run from Thursday August 31 – Sunday September 3, with the lineup released on Tuesday July 11 and tickets on sale the same day.

In addition, 2017 will see the launch of the Road to Weekender, a series of shows and lectures in the week leading up to the Sydney schedule.
