Brand new event Modulations at Carriageworks (6-9 June), curated by Stephen Pavlovic, welcomes headliners Pet Shop Boys plus the additions of experimental musicians Liars, iconic Sydney restaurateurs Porteño, and artists from LA indie label Wild Records.
Three performances by multi-award winning electronic pop legends Pet Shop Boys offer a rare opportunity to experience a spectacular multi-media production in an intimate and immersive environment, and their only Australian performances of their 2013/14 Electric World tour.
Cutting edge Brooklyn artists, Liars, have been pursuing the art of music and performance for over 15 years, and have just released their seventh studio album, Mess. The Quietus describe Liars shows as ‘beautiful, bizarre and brilliant”, and they’ll be performing at Modulations on Friday 6 June.
Porteño is collaborating with their favorite LA based record label Wild Records to present an unforgettable experience at Wild Porteño, a pop up restaurant / bar open each night of the Long Weekend. On Monday 9 June, they present the ultimate Porteño live experience with performances from Wild artists The Delta Bombers, Gizzelle and Luis & The Wildfires.
The Basement at Circular Quay, one of Vivid Music’s most exciting new venues boasts a full performance schedule that features shows from incredible local talent such as Fishing, one of Australia’s most exhilarating electronic acts, who will exclusively launch their debut album only at Vivid Music. Brisbane’s Laneous & The Family Yah, The Big Village and the rap-obsessed Halfway Crooks will make their Vivid debuts, alongside Australia’s future-soul beacon Ngaiire, whose first Vivid show will introduce keen new audiences to a wild, deeply moving and renowned live performance featuring soon to be announced special guests.
In a first for Vivid Music, Spice Spektrum, hosted at The Spice Cellar, will treat audiences to a fusion of food, music and mood.

Each evening will be represented by different colours to offer a unique emotional, culinary and entertainment experience.
