Sunsets, harbour views and live music are a match made in heaven. This January, you can get a dose of all three by simply jumping on a ferry to Cockatoo Island. Sunset Sessions is returning in the new year and bringing a jam-packed program of live gigs to town. The popular alfresco event returns to the lawns of the historic Biloela House and features home-grown talent from across Australia.
Sunset Sessions At Cockatoo Island
Watch the sunset and jam out to live music by talented artists, (most) every Saturday from January 11 until April 5. At the idyllic location, which overlooks the Sydney Harbour, you’ll find food and refreshments by Marina Café & Bar including grazing boxes and drinks. Here’s the confirmed line up so far – note that there are no Sunset Sessions on February 8, 2025, and further sessions and artists will be confirmed in due course.
