Sydney’s fave foodie playground is about to step up its entertainment offering. The new Sydney Fish Market’s New Wave Concert Series kicks off this Feb, transforming the architecturally impressive foodie mecca into a harbourside stage for three golden-hour Saturdays. From 5pm-8pm for the next three Saturdays, visitors can pair fresh seafood with live performances from some of Australia’s brightest emerging talent. The best news? It’s completely free – meaning more cash left over for sashimi.

Across the three-night series, we can expect a mix of genres: February 21 brings big country-folk energy, February 28 leans into indie dream-pop, and the March 7 line-up will feature a fusion of R&B, jazz and indie pop. Headliners include powerhouse rock duo Big Wheels, disco-funk faves Bread Club, and indie-pop angel Yorke. Each gig will be steered by Ifeoma (Ify) Peace Obiegbu, the South West Sydney-based creative, poet and storyteller with a knack for making every mic moment feel electric (you might know her from her stint as host of FBi’s Up For It!, where she spent two years championing local talent).
If you ask us, it’s the perfect excuse to eat oysters in the open air and people-watch as the sun drops over Blackwattle Bay.
As you’d expect, there’s no need to book or register – just rock up with an appetite between 5 and 8pm.
