As you get older every weekend kind of merges into one cliché — we go to the same bar, with the same friends and drink the same gin & tonic. Repetition is the strongest vice, where you can too easily slip into a usual night out routine.
To avoid experiencing a toilet night out in consequence of straying away from the usual, we’ve compiled the top three events happening in Sydney this weekend. We promise they won’t disappoint…
Painting With Light – A Sensory Overload
This underground experience will shit all over your mates garage party with the ~trippy~ lights he snagged from Bunnings. The Underground Arts Party has a distinct reputation of curating not just a night out, but an experience and this weekend they’re showing Sydney the power of lighting.
With minimal house and techno beats playing from 9pm onwards, the underground venue in Bondi Junction will be transformed to an electric live art show with cool shit like infinity boxes, projection art, light effects and holograms.
W&W // 13th & 14th of January // Tickets from $15 at MoshTix // Music featuring Wild Fox, Analog Cabin, Vi Hermens, Andy Bird.
Mood II Swing at Harpoon Harry
Presented by V Movement, Harry’s House Party are bringing a taste of the New York house scene to Sydney. The untouchable house music duo Mood II Swing will be playing — DJ’s famed in the underground clubs of NYC.
For those who aren’t familiar, Lem Springsteen and John Ciafone released both originals and remixes that shaped the electronic dance music scene in the 1990s. This Saturday event is supported by Sydney DJ’s with Simon Caldwell & Ben Fester being among the line up.
W&W // Entry from $20 // Tickets through Moshtix // Harpoon Harry, Surry Hills
Popup Rooftop Garden Bar at 107 Projects
Keeping the Sydney summer vibes going until Sunday, the 107 projects will transform their rooftop garden into an open air bar this weekend. Soak up some sun and bask in the typical Sydney vices of cold beers, espresso martinis and dumplings.
With the Sunday session being our pick for the weekend, the day will be hosted by Sydney’s FBi Click. To wrap up the weekend artists, Klue, Sam Z, Ribongia, Vuli and Moodyy, will share their love for bass and percussion.
W&W // Free Entry // 107 projects, Redfern.
