SXSW Sydney music venues revealed by Geoff Kim

Bree van Reyk & Mick Turner at Phoenix Central Park

SXSW Sydney is just a couple months away and more details have been revealed including the venues for the music festival. Due to Sydney’s geography and fragmented planning of its streets, the magic of Austin’s Sixth St is unlikely to be replicated, however, I remain excited for what the city can bring.

Venues we know of so far:

Chippendale

  • The Lord Gladstone

  • The Chippo Hotel

  • Sneaky Possum

  • Phoenix Central Park

  • The Landsdowne Hotel

  • The Abercrombie Hotel

  • UTS Underground

Surry Hills (near Central)

  • Hotel Hollywood

  • The Civic Underground

  • The Soda Factory

Ultimo / Darling Harbour

  • Powerhouse Museum

  • Tumbalong Park

There are supposedly upto 25 venues in all so if I was a betting man, I would suggest some of the others could be Hotel Harry, Goros, Tio’s, The Gaelic.

The music festival commences Wednesday 18 Oct and goes for four days until the Saturday night. The lineup continues to grow and is being added to.

Use this handy map to orient yourself and see as much fresh music as possible!

Addendum: Added potential venues (?) given location in relation to the already confirmed venues (purple). To be updated as more are confirmed.
