Bastille Sydney is a
Celebration of The Arts
Four days. One harbour. Zero reasons to stand still.
From 16–19 July at Circular Quay and The Rocks, Sydney's biggest French celebration brings together live bands, cabaret, dance and more — all completely free. With over 110 free performances transforming the city into a stage, there's something for every age, every taste and every mood. This year we go further than ever, weaving music and performance through the quays and into the streets, so the energy finds you wherever you are.
Join our revolution. C'est Bastille!
Featured Artists
The Sydney program moves effortlessly from high-energy live sets to dazzling, theatrical spectacle — and everywhere in between. Otis Band kick off the weekend on Friday with a powerful, crowd-filling performance that sets the tone for the days ahead. The Avenue bring their signature sound to the harbour, delivering the kind of set you'll still be humming on Monday. And for something truly theatrical, Aluminus Dance brings full cabaret glamour to the stage — pure Parisian energy in the heart of Sydney.
From smooth, sit-and-sip moments to full dancefloor nights, this is a lineup that doesn't sit still — and neither will you.
We've wrapped up for the season!
See you in 2027.
