Epic performers, under the stars in a series of incredible concerts. Grab your tickets now for Night at the Barracks…
Returning for its third year, the much-loved concert series Night at the Barracks continues to thrill music lovers with an outstanding line-up of Australian superstars and special live shows, running across four weekends from September 13 until October 6.
Icehouse kicked off the series, and revered singer songwriter Pete Murray, one of an elite group of Australian artists to have sold over 1.2 million records across his illustrious career, joined the lineup on night two with his spectacular band.
Rounding out the first weekend of performers was Gospo Collective, an exceptional gospel choir who showcased the repertoire of Whitney Houston and the Jackson siblings with a live band and their clever arrangements of the hits.
The second weekend showcases Birds of Tokyo on the Friday night, a band who have enjoyed success since Lanterns in 2013. The Saturday night sees superstar vocalist Jon Stevens paying tribute to the legendary bands that catapulted him to Australian rock royalty, with The Noiseworks & INXS Collection showcasing an outstanding catalogue of hits.
On the Sunday, supergroup AUSTRALIAN ROCK COLLECTIVE (ARC) featuring members of Spiderbait, Powderfinger, The Wrights and You Am I, will perform the ‘Best of ARC’ with two blistering sets of their favourite hits from iconic artists such as Led Zeppelin, AC/DC, Neil Young, The Easybeats, Jet, Powderfinger, Pink Floyd, The Beatles and Midnight Oil.
Week three takes it up a notch with the first ever unseated Barracks show – legends of the Australian EDM scene, The Presets will be joined by Bag Raiders. All of the seating will be removed for maximum party vibes!
New Zealand pop rock superstars SIX60, a band that has enjoyed global success, hit the stage on the Saturday night and concluding that weekend is Taylor Made – a tribute to Taylor Swift featuring the vocal talents of Clare Bowditch, Alex the Astronaut, Clementine Ford, Charley, Emily Wurramurra and Lucy Durack. Friendship bracelets are optional, but welcome!
The series will go out in style, over the long weekend, running from October 4-6, delivering three of Australia’s most compelling artists. First up on the Friday night, sublime singer songwriter Matt Corby and his band in a rare live show. On the Saturday night is Australia’s sweetheart, dynamic pop superstar, Jessica Mauboy.
Performing to a packed house at the very first Night At The Barracks series in 2022, Mauboy delivered one of the most memorable performances of the series to date, and tickets for her live show this year will be highly sought after! Closing the event on Sunday October 6 is mesmerising singer and guitarist extraordinaire Xavier Rudd, playing songs from his latest album Jan Juc Moon, alongside all of his much loved material.
Northern Beaches Mayor Sue Heins said, “We are delighted to see Night at the Barracks return for another year. This wonderful event deserves its success, supporting local businesses and providing entertainment in an iconic location on the Beaches. I look forward to seeing our community share in the many wonderful performances by world-class musicians, with family, friends, neighbours and visitors this September and October – a great night for all.”
Night At The Barracks is deeply committed to pursuing environmental sustainability, actively seeking and integrating progressive green initiatives, working towards redefining eco-consciousness within Australian events.
From reusable aluminium cups and merchandise made from 100% recycled materials to waste management and powering the site from 100% renewable energy, minimising our carbon footprint is at the core of all of our planning and execution. Once again we will be encouraging ticket holders to use public transport and there will also be bike racks on site to encourage visitors to cycle to the event.
As with previous years, the event will also host an array of local food and beverage providers bringing concert-goers a taste of the Northern Beaches, and will proudly support businesses in the surrounding area.
With North Head Sanctuary and the Barracks forming an integral part of Australian history, event organisers feel extremely privileged to again be able to share this event series with the general public.
