AUSTRALIA DAY LIVE GIVES NSW RESIDENTS A REASON TO CELEBRATE

As with every year, Australia Day is a time to celebrate cultural diversity, the Australian spirit, mateship and sense of community. While celebrations may be a little different this year, Australia Day in 2021 will look to inspire optimism and recognise the many challenges that Australians have overcome as a nation in the past year.

The NSW Government’s annual celebration – Australia Day Live – will be held at the iconic Sydney Opera and broadcast to the nation, ensuring everyone across the country can join in on the celebrations from the comfort and safety of their own home.

Viewers are set to be dazzled, with unforgettable musical performances by top Aussie talent choreographed with a spectacular fireworks display, a flotilla of yachts and jet-skis.

Aussie music icons Delta Goodrem, Casey Donovan, Dami Im, Mitch Tambo, Todd McKenney, tenor Lorenzo Rositano, along with world-renowned didgeridoo player William Barton will entertain the nation with their epic performances. Plus, in a ground-breaking opening segment, Iva Davies will look at Circular Quay when it was known as Warrane.

Rounding out the talent will be Aboriginal vocal group KARI, the renowned Koomurri Aboriginal Dance Troupe, and VOX Sydney Philharmonia Choirs. Aussie Pops Orchestra will back up the artists, with Australia Day Creative Director and music maestro John Foreman as host alongside Jeremy Fernandez and Casey Donovan.

Australia Day Live will be broadcast on ABC and iView from 7.30pm to 9.30pm.

To ensure public safety, restrictions will be in place around the Circular Quay foreshore precinct. Only those with a confirmed restaurant or venue booking will be allowed entry into the area after 5pm.

Outside Sydney, there are a number of COVID-safe cultural and community events being hosted across NSW, from Mendooran to Molong, - check the official website for all regional events.
