The Sydney concert series returns in February, with Murray performing Feeler and See the Sun in full and a Rolling Stones tribute led by Adalita, Phil Jamieson, Tex Perkins and Tim Rogers.
Pete Murray will revisit two of his best-known albums, King Stingray will bring their Yolŋu surf rock to Sydney Harbour, and Jessica Mauboy will take the stage as Twilight at Taronga celebrates its 30th anniversary in 2027.
The concert series returns to Taronga Zoo Sydney from February 5th to March 6th, with a programme that moves between contemporary Australian acts, singer-songwriters and nights devoted to familiar songbooks. The Jungle Giants, The Waifs and The Dreggs are among the artists announced, alongside an opening-night pairing of Foy Vance and Bic Runga.
Murray closes the season on March 6th with full performances of Feeler and See the Sun. Giving both records room to unfold makes his set one of the more distinctive bookings on a bill otherwise spread across individual headline shows and multi-artist celebrations.
Another album gets its due on February 19th, when the Rolling Stones Revue brings Adalita, Phil Jamieson, Tex Perkins and Tim Rogers together to celebrate Let It Bleed. The four singers will take on the Stones’ record as part of a season that also includes ABBA tribute act Björn Again and a Classic Hits Live bill featuring Dragon, GANGgajang, Eurogliders, Taxiride featuring Jason Singh, and The Chantoozies.
King Stingray play on February 6th, followed the next week by The Dreggs, James Morrison Big Band and Mauboy. The Waifs return on February 25th, with The Jungle Giants following the next evening. For younger audiences, Emma Memma is back for a fourth consecutive year, playing a 10am Lil’ Twilight show on February 6th.
The anniversary season continues the series’ support for Taronga’s conservation work, with proceeds contributing to its Wildlife Hospitals in Sydney and Dubbo.
