The new events - Greatest Southern Nights - will be headlined by Ocean Alley on 28 November and Bernard Fanning and Matt Corby on 5 December, with each concert hosting more than 6,000 music-lovers in a fully seated, COVID-safe setting.
Minister for Jobs, Investment, Tourism and Western Sydney Stuart Ayres said Greatest Southern Nights aligned with the NSW Government’s ambition to kick start the state’s economic recovery, create jobs and drive visitation and spend through major events.
“NSW has led Australia in reigniting the live music industry through Great Southern Nights, and now we are excited to announce these landmark concerts that will be the hottest tickets in the country,” Mr Ayres said.
Joining Ocean Alley on 28 November are Jack River, Ruby Fields and Jack Botts, while Bernard Fanning and Matt Corby will be joined by special guest Merci, Mercy for the 5 December concert.
Geoff Jones, Chief Executive of Promoter TEG, said: “These shows are vital for our industry because they will show that we can stage large-scale live concerts safely and that Australians cannot wait to get out and share great live entertainment experiences with their friends and family.”
Roger Field, President of co-promoter Live Nation, said: “After eight long months of zero arena shows, these concerts will see great musicians bring thousands of fans back together. Not only will these two wonderful nights of entertainment deliver significant employment, but they are sure to inject a vital economic boost to our industry and the NSW economy.”
The Greatest Southern Nights concerts are supported by the NSW Government through Destination NSW and form part of the Great Southern Nights program delivered by the NSW Government in partnership with the Australian Recording Industry Association (ARIA).
