Around Newtown

Inner Westies, rejoice – King Street Crawl is back on July 12, so get ready for this music-fuelled festival across Newtown, Enmore and Erskineville. The 2026 Crawl promises more than 250 artists performing across 40 venues and stages. From punk and indie rock to hip-hop, jazz, funk and electronic beats, there’s something happening around every corner – and most of it is free. For the first time ever, the legendary Enmore Theatre will join the action as a ticketed headline stage, hosting an all-star lineup featuring Tropical F*ck Storm, Winston Surfshirt, Miss Kaninna, Human Movement, Body Type, Djanaba and more. Tickets start from just $50 and double as a Priority Pass, helping you skip the queues at selected venues throughout the day. Prefer a street party vibe? Head to Eliza Street for free live music performances all day, plus drinks from local favourites like Young Henrys and Doomjuice and food by Volkswurst.  Families are catered for too, with dedicated all-ages spaces at the Inner West Pride Centre and St Georges Hall at Newtown Performing High for music and more. The beauty of King Street Crawl is that there’s no set path. Wander between pubs, bars, breweries, cafes and pop-up stages, discover your next favourite band and soak up the atmosphere that makes Sydney’s Inner West music scene so special.
