Sydney Showground welcomes array of artists over live events season

Sydney Showground is welcoming an impressive array of artists over the live events season with the festival season officially beginning at the venue in early October – attracting 55,000 festival goers to Knockout Sydney.

Over the next five months, Sydney Showground will host a huge line-up of live music events and concerts across the multi-purpose venue’s various precincts, with some events even running back-to-back, such as Palm Tree Festival and Boiler Room in December.

Sydney Showground will host global rock-stars Pearl Jam and Green Day to ENGIE Stadium, as both acts return to Australia for the first time in almost a decade. 

Meanwhile, in the Munro Warehouse, international DJ, Peggy Gou will get the party started in November before sold-out electronic dance party, Boiler Room, returns bigger and better in December, with the event expanding to two stages. 

Sydney Showground General Manager, Darryl Jeffrey enthused “Sydney Showground is thrilled to be welcoming such an incredible array of artists over the live events season, with each act offering a unique entertainment experience for its guests.

“In 2023, we proved that ENGIE Stadium has something special to offer as a major concert venue and as a result we are thrilled to welcome global superstars Pearl Jam and Green Day to the stage in what is bound to be two incredible experiences for Australian music lovers.

“As a venue, we have also noticed a shift in live events, with promoters offering more unique event experiences for consumers, such as the sold-out Boiler Room and individual acts like Peggy Gou. These events and artists have a dedicated fan base and offer a point of difference, which is important when a consumer is picking and choosing where to spend their money.

“It is going to be a huge few months for us but if Knockout is anything to go by, it’s a good start to the season.’

Additional events set to take over the Sydney Showground precinct this live events season include Ridin’ Hearts (November 2), Peggy Gou (November 16), Pearl Jam (November 21 & 23), Joker Xue (December 1), Palm Tree (December 6), Boiler Room (December 7), EPIK (December 14), Dreamstate (February 8), and Green Day (March 3, 2025), with still more to be announced.
