As the sun sets on our national day, Australia Day Live from the Sydney Opera House forecourt and spanning Circular Quay is just getting started with an inspiring and uplifting finale to our national day featuring powerful storytelling, moving tributes and sensational entertainment on both land and water.
Australia Day Live showcases musical performances from our nation’s best talent complemented by a dazzling watercraft extravaganza of yachts, jet skis, fly boarders, and parachutists dropping in to join the fun.
All this along with Sydney’s iconic landmarks and harbour create an incredible backdrop for a brilliant fireworks and light show.
The two-hour spectacular is produced by the NSW Government and Australia Day Council of NSW with creative direction led by music maestro and Creative Director John Foreman OAM together with composer, producer, multi-instrumentalist and vocalist William Barton.
Australia Day Live will be hosted by John Foreman, Casey Donovan and Jeremy Fernandez.
Since it began in 2016, Australia Day Live at Sydney Opera House has proven much more than a concert; it reflects a nation with a complex past coming together to recognise our history, embrace our diversity and celebrate community, the Australian spirit and our many great achievements.
