SUMMER MUSIC SERIES AT SYDNEY OBSERVATORY
Sydney Observatory is set to transform this summer with the return of Sunset Variations, a Friday night live music series that brings together Australia’s most exciting new artists to soundtrack Sydney’s golden hour.
With sweeping views across the harbour, Sunset Variations offers a summer ritual every Friday evening from 30 January – 27 February: arrive at sunset and settle onto the Observatory lawn, enjoy Mediterranean-inspired food by Aplenty and drinks by Lo-Fi Wines and experience genre-defying performances as the sun sets over the city.
The 2026 music series opens with an ambient Afrofuturist performance by Nū, an Ethiopian Australian sound artist, vocalist and live coder whose blend of jazz, R&B and electronic rhythms will set a luminous tone for the series.
