Austin City Limits has broken outta Texas and galloped across the globe to launch in Sydney as Sydney City Limits, a massive new music festival in Centennial Park.
The lineup is massive too: Beck, Justice, The Libertines, Phoenix, Grace Jones, Car Seat Headrest, The Avalanches, Thundercat, Vance Joy, Dune Rats and so many more are on the thirty-strong bill. It’s all ages, and fully licensed – although those two facts shouldn’t be related.
The festival will be brought to Australia by the Secret Sounds team who are behind Splendour and Falls – so they know what they are doing.
“Welcome to the inaugural Sydney City Limits!!” says Secret Sounds’ Jessica Ducrou in a press release announcing the festival.
“As a Sydney-sider I’m super excited to bring this new event to town. Direct from Austin, Texas and the flagship Austin City Limits, sister event Sydney City Limits looks forward to presenting some of the most awesome international and Australian acts around.
“Offering up the best in show, it’s very much going to be a celebration of Sydney itself — the food, local artists and the community that makes it such a great place to live and visit.”
It’s happening at Centennial Park on Saturday, February 24.
