Sydney’s most famous stretch of sand is set for a historic night of live music next summer, as Crowded House headlines the very first Golden Hour – a brand-new live music series produced by the Fuzzy crew. For one unforgettable evening in February, Bondi Beach will transform into a stage, as the band known for hits including ‘Don’t Dream It’s Over’, ‘Four Seasons in One Day’ and ‘Weather With You’ perform live.
Award-winning Gamilaraay singer-songwriter Thelma Plum will also take the stage, performing songs from her acclaimed record I’m Sorry, Now Say It Back. The Friday, February 20, 2026 event will be the first major concert held on Bondi’s shores in more than ten years, and will kick off what’s set to become an annual end-of-summer tradition.
Golden Hour promises more than just an on-the-beach concert – it will be a community-driven celebration of Australian music, art and connection, with visuals created by Warumungu/Wombaya artist Jessica Johnson of Nungala Creative.
The main stage will be on the sand, and concertgoers are encouraged to bring picnic rugs and settle on the hill above the foreshore to soak up golden hour.
