Every week I pick out a bunch of interesting shows featuring emerging, DIY, and independent Australian artists.
The full list of shows this week are below – those are the ones to get out to in the next few days.
Don’t forget, there’s also a futuristic-y dashboard here that lets you look ahead if you want to see similar shows a bit further out – given the perilous state of live music, if you can buy tix in advance, the artists and venues will thank you for it.
Wherever you end up though, get out and discover something amazing 👇

Hey, there’s also a futuristic-y dashboard here that lets you look ahead if you want to see similar shows a bit further out.

🤔 Wait, wtf is this?
Looking at the various gig guides out there, these are the shows by emerging, independent, or DIY artists that get my pulse going – this isn’t a complete list, it’s a totally subjective selection of stuff I just like the look of. For way better actual gig guides, you should follow SydneyMusic or bestbandsyouneverheard or Sydney Gig Guide (which tbh you should do anyway)
