Sydney Fringe is heating up The Rocks and throwing a free street party to kick-off the Festival, headlined by the iconic Rogue Traders!

From late afternoon, between Argyle to Atherden Streets, catch the best Fringe comedy, cabaret, music, dance and more, as our artists take over historic cobblestone laneways, sandstone buildings, and pop-up stages. Then, make your way to the Argyle mainstage and get ready to dance in the street as the best new independent voices take to the stage. Featuring the smouldering sounds of The Great West , False London, and DJ Victoria Anthony.

A celebration of pleasure and masturbation which rebels against the dangerous, shame peddling and antiquated sex education of Northern Ireland.

Live, intimate and a little sexy. Sydney's smash hit pop-up piano bar is returning to The Rocks this September.

Memoir in a camp fantasy vehicle, Theoretica is a collection of notes on the experience of untangling half-addressed trauma.

31

AUG — 1 OCT

Traverse the historic streets of The Rocks and dive into an evening of immersive performances, visual arts, genre-bending music, theatre, and hilarious comedy.

This program is truly one-of-a-kind, exclusively offered by Fringe and totally unlike anything else you'll find in Sydney.

Lose yourself in our intimate underground piano bar, step into an enchanting den of tarot storytelling, get swept away by Vivaldi's Four Seasons, enjoy a choral reinterpretation of Radiohead, or experience an unapologetic celebration of pleasure and self-discovery.

We recommend arriving early and staying late to soak up the fantastic vibes, grab a drink at the cozy bars, and savor the delicious offerings from the many eateries at The Rocks. Expect the unexpected, relinquish control for the evening, and join us for one, two, or three shows. Because how often do you get to do that?
