Sound Escape

Vivid Sydney’s ultimate day-into-night party Sound Escape will take over City Recital Hall, with over six hours of music, from over 20 bands, solo artists and DJs, across four stages. 

Part of Vivid Sydney's Music program, Sound Escape will see City Recital Hall transformed into a surrealist dream of light and sound, with the indoor music festival offering electronic and indie sounds in the main stage Hall of Mirrors, cult queer party Heaps Gay taking over the ground floor Grand Voyeur, funk beats in Bar Eden and a good ol’ fashion rave in The Board Room.  

Main stage artists are The Jungle Giants (DJ Set), DICE, POOLCLVB, KLP, 2touch, Mell Hall and Eluize. Heaps Gay stage artists are Haiku Hands (DJ Set), Soju Gang, Tseba, Stev Zar, Fried Pork Chop, prettyboi.zeke and host Rocky Stallone. The Board Room artists are LUPO.THEBOY, Street Player, Elixr, Cricket, Huda and a Secret Guest. The Bar Eden artists are La Foxy Fuzz, Tugg Speedman,  Earnest J, Mezcal Hot Tub and El Chino. 

Keep an eye out for special guests throughout the night, including from performance art icons The Huxleys and Bendy Ben. 

And while the party goes on inside, outside Angel Place itself will be bathed in light for the free Sound Walk experience for the night. Access to Sound Walk, the outdoor light installation at Angel Place is free, made possible by the NSW Government’s Open Streets Program, led by Transport for NSW. 

Sound Escape is an 18+ event.
