4ESYDNEY FESTIVAL
Great Southern Nights showcases some of NSW’s most prominent entertainment districts. From Sydney’s inner west - known for its rich live music culture, with iconic venues surrounded by exotic flavours, small bars and one-off fashion finds that transform distinct areas into vibrant hubs of creativity and entertainment, to Parramatta and Penrith, where there's enormous potential to combine great cuisine, local hospitality and night time venues to create unique visitor experiences.
There’s a stack of additional shows happening throughout these two districts during the taster series, with intimate gigs from artists like Body Type, Salarymen, Henry Wagons, Chanel Loren and plenty more. Some shows are free entry, and you can discover the full gig guide and learn more about all Great Southern Nights artists here.

The festival will showcase some of the best and emerging HipHop talents including 1200 Techniques, DOBBY, JK-47, L-FRESH The LION, Nooky, VV Pete and heaps more. 4ESydney Festival will take place on Saturday 25 November in Blacktown.
