FRI 6 JAN UPDATE: Although tickets are free, bookings are essential. Each release of tickets was snapped up in a flash. Hoping for last-minute tickets to Friday or weekend sessions? Elevate has advised that, ahead of each session, a very limited number of tickets may become available. If you’re feeling lucky, head to the waiting area in the park outside the Elevate entry gates on Macquarie and Bridge Streets. Find out more about last-minute tickets, here.

If you've ever admired the view of Sydney Harbour while zooming along the Cahill Expressway, and perhaps dreamed of dancing, feasting and making merry up there, then rest easy. Your day has finally arrived.
Following last year's debut, Elevate Sydney is making a triumphant return for 2023, with one of Sydney's busiest highways set to get shut down to make way for a multi-day entertainment, nightlife and food festival from January 3 to January 7, 2023. Also, we should mention: it's totally free. Yes, like 100 per cent, totally free. It's all a little much.
The stacked line-up of talent will include the likes of the Veronicas, Amy Shark, Thelma Plum, Client Liaison, WAFIA, Mallrat and Ruby Fields.
And now they've announced that Jungle Giants, Kito, Touch Sensitive and Young Franco have been added to the program.
There will also be a Drone SkyShow (no tickets required) at around 10.30pm every night of the festival.
Each festival day will feature three daily sessions. A kids' party pumping with family favourites will hit in the morning; DJ and electronic sets will swing in the afternoon; and then big main-character headline music performances kick in at night, meaning that this year, there's something on the Cahill Expressway for everyone.
