Seeking a fun way to celebrate summer with the kids? You’re in luck – Everyone’s favourite live music series has returned to Cockatoo Island / Wareamah for another season!
Running Saturday evenings from 13 January to 6 April, Sunset Sessions is an opportunity for families to have a picnic on the lawns of historic Biloela House, enjoy a jaw-dropping view of Sydney Harbour, and unwind in the company of some of the best local performers.
For the shows scheduled between 13 January to 16 March, doors open at 5pm and close at 8pm. For the shows on 23 March, 30 March and 6 April, doors open at 4pm and close at 7pm.
Who’s playing?
This year, Sunset Sessions will feature a diverse line-up of 24 musicians, including First Nations artists, across 12 dates. In addition to original songs spanning multiple genres, you can expect some inspired covers. So… don’t expect any two shows to be the same!
