SXSW Sydney Wristband The Best Value Live Ticket In Town

Today, SXSW Sydney has announced a pivotal component of the futurist event, the SXSW Sydney Music Festival Wristband.

The Wristband, which goes on sale this Friday, 25 August, provides access to over 300 electrifying performances from the best emerging and established Australian and international artists, spread across 25 iconic venues over 4 unforgettable days…. for the earlybird price of just $280.

SXSW is renowned for its complete takeover of the city of Austin, and SXSW Sydney 2023 will follow suit with iconic Sydney venues, bars, pubs, and entire streets being taken over for a music hub like no other.

The SXSW Sydney Music Festival is not your average music festival; it's a journey through the beating heart of the international music scene. From the discovery of Billie Eilish to Kendrick Lamar’s ground-breaking performance, a three-hour-long set from Prince to an intimate gig from Kanye West and Jay-Z and much more – the SXSW Music Festival has been renowned for curating unforgettable music experiences in its hometown Austin, Texas, and developed a legacy for launching what’s next in the global music industry.

Whether you’re looking to discover your next favourite artist or your next signing, SXSW Sydney 2023 is an unmissable addition to the music calendar this October.

Badges and wristbands are on sale now.
