Australia Day Live Concert

Australia Day Live 2025

Start planning for Australia Day Live 2025, a spectacular concert staged on land and water as the sun sets on our national day. It’s an unmissable celebration of music, lights and dazzling fireworks to entertain the nation.

Set against the iconic Sydney Opera House and Sydney Harbour Bridge backdrop, the night turns to magic as you experience live musical performances choreographed to a flotilla of yachts and watercraft. You’ll be inspired as the heart of Sydney lights up with striking imagery on the Sydney Opera House sails and stunning pyrotechnics over the harbour.

An all-star line-up of Australian artists will entertain you on the Sydney Opera House Forecourt with powerful renditions of iconic Aussie hits. You’ll meet much-loved characters and hear stories that reflect the diversity of our cultures, lifestyles and the quirkiness that makes our country so special.

Australia Day Live is a one-of-a-kind celebration that brings us all together to sing, laugh, dance and have fun. It’s guaranteed to inspire and celebrate the Australian spirit.

Get down to Circular Quay and be there for the show of a lifetime. Or you can tune in and catch it live on ABC TV and ABC iView.

If you want to attend Australia Day Live, limited free tickets for the seated area within the Sydney Opera House forecourt will be made available in mid-January 2025 through this webpage, so keep checking back to avoid disappointment.
