Flip the bird to summer.
10) El Capitan
28th February
What: The Flamingo Martini team wish to welcome you all, as they Comendeer both levels of the Sydney Supercat for one special evening. Let them take you all on our musical journey for your mind, body and soul. There will be a full bar on both levels, so don’t drink too much for the pre’s. For those that miss a feed, don’t worry, pizzas will be available on order from the bar. As for the vibes, they also have that covered, with some of the finest house music orchestrated by 7 very talented local DJ’s to keep you groovin & movin.
Why: What’s better than getting tanked on cheap cocktails and gorging on pizza? Doing so in a vessel surrounded by a puke-absorbing ocean.

5) Young Henrys Live Lounge feat. Lachlan Heald & The Space Cadets
5th March
What: Young Henrys and Kelly’s on King present Lachlan Heald & The Space Cadets. Drawing heavy influences from bands such as Van Halen and Def Leppard, Sydney based artist Lachlan Heald brings a strong yet unique taste of 1980s hard rock to a modern setting. Featuring heavy guitar riffs, catchy choruses and loud drums you will be bound to feel the energy. The Space Cadets are an up and coming Indie Rock band straight out of the heart of the Sutherland Shire. Influenced by local Australian bands including Hockey Dad, Skeggs and Sticky Fingers, members Benny, Nate, Max and Billy are bringing these familiar sounds through their own style as they also celebrate the release of their new single “The Fool”.
Why: This isn’t your dad’s hard rock. Because it’s…not as good.
4) Sunset Piazza
28th February-21st March
What: If you had any doubts that live music and comedy are back, big time, then you need to check out Sydney’s brand new pop-up outdoor venue and concert series in the heart of the city. The Sunset Piazza is in Cathedral Square, opposite Hyde Park, bringing with it 32 nights of music and comedy under the watch of the beautiful St Mary’s Cathedral. Sunset Piazza offers the kind of night out in the city you’ve been craving. Visit a local restaurant before the show or grab a bite to eat from on-site artisan providores serving panini and antipasti. Enjoy a pre-show drink from the bar, and settle in for a selection of Sydney’s best DJs, pre-show. Some astonishing talent will be playing, across the full spectrum of genres: think Ben Lee, Alex the Astronaut, the Umbilical Brothers, Opera Australia, Lawrence Mooney, Lizzy Hoo, and JK-47. Sydney’s favourite jazz vocalist Emma Pask; classical music mavericks Ensemble Offspring; and purveyors of queer parties and good times, Heaps Gay also join the program.
Why: Get pissed, eat paninis and watch Heaps Gay in front of a church. We’re often hard on Sydney but sometimes it just pulls it off.
