The Sydney music festival market is getting a huge addition in 2016, with the four-dayRed Bull Music Academy Weekender to take place in our fair city this year.
The Red Bull Music Academy’s dedicated festival event has taken over a number of cities around the world previously, from Tokyo to Vienna, Warsaw and Stockholm, and now it’s Sydney’s turn.
With a program including not only live and club music events, but also artist talks and art exhibitions, the Weekender is a spin-off of the renowned Red Bull Music Academy club nights, which have featured Australian shows from the likes of Romare and Taylor McFerrin, as well as RBMA’s sponsorship of a stage at Laneway Festival and Splendour In The Grass.
Expectations are therefore high for what RBMA will deliver for its Sydney Weekender in September, with the festival aiming to celebrate “the many elements and unique counterparts to the city’s musical and cultural identity”.
