The Strokes will headline the first-ever Sydney Summertime concert series in February 2027, joined by Beck, Courtney Barnett and Promiseland for a massive outdoor show.
Taking place on Saturday, February 20th, the concert will mark the final stop of the New York indie-rock band’s Australian tour in support of their seventh studio album, Reality Awaits. It will also be their only Sydney performance and only outdoor headline show of the national run.
First announced in August, Sydney Summertime is a new outdoor concert series set to take over Centennial Park across late February and early March, with further international headliners and Australian artists to be revealed in the coming months.
The Strokes will be joined by Grammy Award-winning musician Beck, Australian singer-songwriter Courtney Barnett, who recently returned with her new album Creature of Habit, and Promiseland, the project of Johann Rashid, who is signed to Julian Casablancas’ Cult Records.
Barnett and Promiseland will also support The Strokes at their Brisbane and Melbourne shows, while Beck will join the lineup exclusively in Sydney.
“As long-time fans of The Strokes, we couldn’t be more excited that they’re the first headliner announced for Sydney Summertime,” Black Peach founders and Sydney Summertime directors Jessica Ducrou and Elise Huntley said. “They’re such an iconic live band and the perfect way to kick things off. We can’t wait to see them take over Centennial Park, along with Beck, Courtney Barnett and Promiseland.”
Sydney Summertime will offer six ticket experiences, ranging from general admission and front-of-stage Gold Circle access to premium viewing areas, VIP hospitality and private suites. The event will also feature food trucks, Sydney restaurant pop-ups and local producers, with further details to be announced.
