Festivals in Sydney

The Twilight at Taronga 2026 Summer Concert Series ticks off a hefty amount of Sydney summer ideals – harbour views at dusk, alfresco live music and a zoo-fringed lawn to sprawl out on with shared treats and mates. Add in a diverse line-up of top Aussie artists, and you've got yourself a pretty great way to spend a waterfront sunset.  Running over five back-to-back weekends from February 6 to March 7, Twilight at Taronga will complement the growls, roars and hisses of the menagerie with old-time faves and newer artists. Things kick off on February 6 with indie folk-rock band The Paper Kites, followed by every toddler's favourite Emma Memma who's performing for 'Lil’ Twilight' – a special morning shows at 10am on February 7. February 20-22 is all about performances by singer, songwriter, musician and multi-instrumentalist Xavier Rudd. Other drawcards include Sons of the East, Vera Blue, The Reubens, Dope Lemon and more, ending with Bjorn Again on March 7 (yep, it's sold out already).  What's more, every ticket purchased before Christmas will go into the draw to win an overnight stay at Taronga Zoo’s Roar and Snore for two, valued at $800.  Every ticket does more than give you a fun night out – it helps protect Australia’s precious wildlife. By attending Twilight at Taronga, you’re supporting the Wildlife Veterinary Teaching Hospital that provides care for thousands of animals. Ticket prices start at $79 for adults, and you can add on optional extras like picnic rugs,...
