THE VIVID
HIGHLIGHT REEL
Set to draw crowds in excess of 2.3
million, Vivid is about to kick off in
Sydney. We’ve rounded up the
top events across the city.
Blurring the line
between art and
technology, watch as
a “mistical” fog fills the
air above Cockle Bay.
Get it? Mist-ical.
To press or not to press?
Give in to temptation
at the Royal Botanic
Garden and watch as
foliage spectacularly
lights up in front of you.
Your two favourite
niche activities come
together at Central
Park in Broadway.
Where better to catch
a gig than 76 storeys
above street level at
the top of the Sydney
Tower Eye?
The Grammy-
nominated indie rock
band will hit the Sydney
Opera House stage for
their first Australian
show in five years.

can’t miss it. From May 26 until June 17.
