5.0 based on 76 reviews
How can one possibly not be taken aback by the sheer beauty of the location of this operatic event. With a unique stage constructed out over the water, the audience is treated to a breathtaking view of both the Sydney Harbour Bridge and the Opera House. The specially designed soundshell, in which the musicians play, provides an amazing sound experience to leave you completely enraptured. Plus, there are budget eating options available as well as high-end, or you can choose to dine in the beautiful Botanical Gardens close by before the show starts.

2. Parkes Elvis Festival

Reviewed By RobynE771 - Adelaide, Australia
A feature of our Great Southern Beyond Rail Journey from Adelaide to Brisbane, was stopping at Parkes and attending the semi-final of artists at the Parkes Elvis Festival. This whole experience was fantastic and if you enjoy 'toe-tapping' music, this is certainly the place to be every January. The annual street parade reportedly hosted about 20,000 spectators and the League's Club was to capacity with an audience entertained by 8 'Elvis inspired' finalists. What a great way to spend an afternoon. The market area was full of Elvis memorabilia and old and young alike were immersed in this iconic entertainer.

My first time was a treat, Alex the Astronaut opening for Neil and Liam Finn. We arrived on time, but there was a huge line for a good seat. This was ok, there is not really a bad seat in the venue, and the staff were very efficient and helpful in helping people enter, find their way, and get settled. The view and the sound mixing was awesome. We got a food hamper which was a little on the expensive side, but it was excellent food. Took the ferry over from the city, which is a treat on a warm and fine evening.

5. Stereosonic
Stereosonic is the biggest electronic music festival in Australia, attracting crowds of over 60,000 people. Originally set over 2 days in 5 capital cities - Sydney, Melbourne, Perth, Brisbane and Adelaide - the Melbourne production company SFX Entertainment narrowed it down to 1 day only in 2015, attracting some of the biggest electronic music names in the industry. The best way to enjoy the festival is to plan ahead. In Sydney, there are 5 stages featuring a mix of local and international acts. You can follow their FB page and create your own schedule. It pays to get VIP tickets to this event. Buying alcohol and queuing for the toilets can take a fair amount of your time.
