The musical maestros of the Inner West and iconic craft brewers, Young Henrys, are all set to kick off Australia’s most colossal music, screen games, and technology conference and festival with a bang. Holding the prestigious title of the Official Music Festival Major Sponsor for SXSW Sydney® 2023, these Newtown artisans will be taking centre stage at Tumbalong Park on Wednesday, October 18, with their legendary Rock & Roll Circus, promising to be its grandest edition yet. A stellar lineup of both local and international music stars will be belting out beloved rock & roll classics, making this an unmissable event for anyone’s social calendar.

The forthcoming Rock & Roll Circus marks yet another thrilling chapter in the harmonious collaboration between these two cultural powerhouses.

With an unwavering commitment to nourishing Sydney’s creative minds, artists, musicians, hospitality stalwarts, and hometown heroes, Young Henrys and SXSW Sydney® have an array of enchanting surprises waiting in the wings.

Prepare to be dazzled by an extraordinary ensemble of talent as Young Henrys brings together a star-studded cast. Joining forces with the YH House Band, which includes luminaries from The Preatures, The Delta Riggs, and True Vibenation, a stellar lineup of performers will set the stage ablaze. The bill boasts the likes of Dan Sultan, Wallice (US), Ben Marwe (Bad Dreems), Hayley Mary, Tyne-James Organ, Emmy Mack (RedHook), Jamie Timony (These New South Whales), Zoe Catterall (The Buoys), Zeppelin Hamilton (Velvet Trip), Annie Hamilton, and Dante Knows. Anchored by the charismatic Fitzy as this year’s host, get ready for a Rock and roll Circus that promises to be grander and more sensational than ever before!

“Young Henrys Rock & Roll Circus is a musical event we have been throwing for nearly 7 years now. It sees our various friends from all manners of the musical realm coming together to collaborate and have fun on a communal stage. We are so proud to be able to bring this awesome celebration of music and mates to the very first SXSW Sydney and for the crowds of Tumbalong Park in Darling Harbour to be treated to a stellar line-up of national and international guests, enjoying the expression of music together” – Oscar McMahon, Young Henrys Co-Founder/Director.
