The full lineup for this year’s On The Steps concert series has been revealed.
Live Nation today confirmed all the acts heading to Sydney Opera House Forecourt between December 2nd-15th.
On The Steps 2025 will present “13 unforgettable evenings of world-class performances on the country’s most spectacular outdoor stage,” according to a press release, offering “a diverse array of homegrown and international talent across music and comedy.”
The series is delivered in partnership with Support Act, with several initiatives designed to raise funds for the charity’s crisis relief services for music industry professionals who are unable to work.
Check out the full series lineup below, which kicks off with Chet Faker and Mallrat on December 2nd and concludes with Kirk Franklin on December 15th.
Parcels, one of the confirmed acts, can’t wait to take part in the series following a massive global tour.
“There’s something pretty surreal about playing on the steps of the Opera House,” says keyboardist Louie Swain. “In year 12 we actually played in the concert hall for HSC Encore, around the moment we were starting Parcels, so it’s always held a deep and symbolic place for us. We’re honoured to be a part of this series. There’s so many friends and family planning to be there, it will no doubt be very special.”

This is Live Nation’s fourth year of presenting On The Steps, curated exclusively for the Sydney Opera House Forecourt. Over 50,000 people are expected to attend across 13 days.
