Top Live Entertainment Venues in Sydney, NSW

Sydney is one of the most luxurious cities in the world and is known for its vast diversity in its culture, entertainment and tourism scene. This capital of New South Wales, located on the eastern coast of Australia is also one of the most desired holiday destinations around the world. While the more popular spots like the Opera House, Bondi Beach and Royal Botanic Gardens are always on the radar, there are far less appreciated places worth discovering. Here are some of the few places under the radar that guarantees a night of entertainment.

The harbour is one of the top attractions in Sydney due to its brilliant waterways, beaches, islands, bays, some outstanding restaurants and venues and a vast array of cruises perched on its shoreline. Spending a night in the harbour is easy considering the options but if you're looking to grasp the beauty of Sydney from a whole new perspective, jump on a dinner cruise in Sydney, and get a closer look at some of the biggest attractions on the land including the Opera House and Harbour Bridge. Pick the unique paddlewheeler to further boost the experience with a night of cabaret, performed by a star-studded cast. This impressive Sydney Harbour cruise with dinner, views and a live show is the ultimate getaway for you and your family from the city life.

Finding a proper venue for entertainment in a city like Sydney, whether it be a gig of smooth jazz played in a comfy environment, a grunge pub playing rock music or a stage shared by famous musicians, is an easy task. The Vanguard is an ideal venue in the inner suburb of Newtown, Sydney, who are proficient in offering a casual hangout atmosphere along with creative snacks, cocktails and tagged music performances. With a controlled seating of under 200, the place hardly overcrowds and is ideal for a night out with your close friends. The staged shows here are a mix of live jazz, blues and folks music, talks from authors, lp tours and much more, making it suitable for all visitors.

Next is a heritage-listed theatre and entertainment venue, also in Newtown, Sydney. It is located in Sydney’s own heartland of epic music concerts, live performances, cafes, bars and restaurants and plays a vital part in Sydney’s rich nightlife. Featuring a retro facade, it is Sydney’s oldest running live theatre so it holds a bit of cultural significance as well. Another flexible performance area is the Oxford Art Factory located in the Oxford Street of NSW. This is a vintage warehouse-like venue that stages multiple visual arts, performance arts, live music events, an After Dark Bar and a live art space in one of the in-built galleries.
