Amongst 1000s of gigs across NSW, these standout Great Southern Nights shows still have some hot tickets up for grabs.
In case you haven’t heard of it, Great Southern Nights is a Destination NSW and ARIA initiative which is bringing 1,000 COVID-safe performances to live music venues across Greater Sydney and regional NSW throughout the month of November. After the decimation of the industry due to lockdowns, it’s a welcome initiative to help reinvigorate a core part of our culture.
We’re live!
