Taronga Zoo will once again host a series of spectacular outdoor concerts over the Sydney summer, and now a bumper lineup of Aussie and international acts has been confirmed.

The 2016 Twilight At Taronga program will commence with homegrown hero Courtney Barnett, performing just a couple of days after Australia Day on Thursday January 28. She’ll be followed by the likes of Josh Pyke (Friday January 29), John Butler Trio (Friday February 5), Birds Of Tokyo (Friday February 12) and American alt rockers Violent Femmes (Friday March 4).

Other acts on the schedule include Colin Hay, C.W. Stoneking, Missy Higgins and The Waifs.

The return of Twilight At Taronga brings twilight open-air live music back to the shoreline of Sydney Harbour – and if you feel like popping in to visit the animals while you’re there, well, all the better.

The Twilight At Taronga 2016 program runs from Thursday January 28 – Saturday March 12. For the full schedule and ticketing info, visit the website.
