Intimate shows in a former substation and 'gale force' techno at the Opera House.

There’s a lot to process when Vivid Sydney reveals its program for the annual festival of light, music, ideas, and food. Vivid Live’s musical performances usually sell out well ahead of the festival. This year looks to be no exception, with the bill including French duo Air, American singer-songwriter Sky Ferreira, UK techno duo Underworld, and Grammy-nominated singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Devonté Hynes. Club nights featuring House of Mince, Mad Racket, and Astral People also return to Sydney Opera House, a time-honored tradition for Vivid Live. Long-serving curator of Vivid Live, Ben Marshall, joins the podcast with his festival cheat sheet.

Broadsheet Sydney: Around Town is a biweekly culture podcast that dives deep into Australian food, entertainment, fashion, art and everything in between.
Each Tuesday, we sit down with a person making an impact on culture and the way we live. It could be the founder of a brand we use every day, a restaurateur who’s transformed how we dine, a filmmaker behind a series we can’t stop watching or a bartender shaking up a twist on a classic cocktail. 

On Thursdays, hear from a rotating cast of Broadsheet editors on openings and events in Sydney; recommendations as asked for by you; and anything we haven’t been able to stop talking about in the office – all in less than 10 minutes.
