Below you'll find every live music event taking place in Sydney, all on one page.
This guide is as simple as we can practically get away with. We’ll include some occasional commentary (feel free to submit your own!) to help give you context on what can be a dizzyingly complex network of musicians, collectives, communities, and spaces, or just make sure you don’t miss out on catching your next favourite act.

Artists, managers, promoters, and venues:
Self-promo is fine — we love it when you let us know what you’ve got going on! But we won’t
publish your marketing/social copy verbatim or give you special consideration in the guide.
We generally don’t list cover/tribute bands or background-music sets at hospitality venues.
All listings are at our own discretion. We will also graciously refuse any offer of door spots
for shows where we can buy tickets.

Lazy Thinking is a recently-opened "restaurant, bar and a record store that sells only independent Australian music". They've just started doing shows in their space, and they've launched out the gates with some brilliant curation - acts like Patamon, AnSo, Gift Giver, V.I.P.P, Negative Gears and then this lineup are a strong signal that owner and curator Jim Flanagan knows where it's at. These shows are pay-what-you-can.
