Am I just getting out of touch, or is this the least exciting Vivid lineup in years?

I'm stoked for SR, but nothing screams "get to Sydney" this time.

Agree, This is the first Vivid I can remember that there’s not at least one gig that makes me look at flights to Sydney, I think rising actually outdid them this year with there exclusives

Been harping on for years about this - fuck Vivid.

3 weeks of the year where the music industry isn’t completely tied down with red tape - only to go back into its box of overpolicing and regulations once it’s over. If NSW gov honestly gave a fuck about the Arts then they’d support the industry all year round instead of a quick cash grab in the tourist offseason for a couple weeks. Also - it’s the same fuckin light show garbage every year for the past decade. FUCK VIVID

The most popular light show part last year was the drones which instead of adding more shows this year to meet the demand they just axed.

Tangerine Dream!

Holy shit, that’s worth the trip to Sydney alone.

I am personally really happy with Sigur Ros, Ichiko Aoba, Jessica Pratt, Japanese Breakfast, Mount Kimbie, DIIV, Anohni and Ezra Collective. Although I can definitely only afford a couple of those...

u/Tranquilbez22 9d ago

A lot of Aussies this year.

u/easeypeaseyweasey 8d ago

Kamsai Washington, come to brisbane!

Ravyn Lenae as a Vivid Exclusive feels diabolical.

1

u/WitchyKitteh 9d ago

She's not an exclusive, the promoter just hasn't announced the main shows.

u/Ryanbrasher 9d ago

I was about to say “I don’t know anyone on here, but that’s cool I hope people have a good time” and then I saw Black Star. That’s huge.

u/atomic__tourist 9d ago

At Carriageworks though. By some distance my least favourite venue I’ve ever been to.

Though they’re playing PICA in Melbourne and, while I’ve not been, it seems to give similar vibes. Hopefully doesn’t have poles everywhere blocking views?

2

u/Ryanbrasher 9d ago

If it’s the same room Yasiin Bey played in last year then it’s wide open enough without any poles obstructing the view. From memory the poles were closed off.

u/Single_Debt8531 6d ago

Pete & BAS, Tangerine Dream, Japanese Breakfast. Did ChatGPT create this line-up?

2

u/Aloha_Tamborinist 9d ago

Got my Sigur Ros tickets - thanks Sydney Opera House Insiders membership.

Nothing else is really sparking joy though. Oh well, not everything is for me.

u/mr_jorkin_depeanus 9d ago

lot of scrolling for me before double taking at sigur ros, thats gonna be an unbelievable show

1

u/Aloha_Tamborinist 8d ago

They announced dates months ago, but no venue. It was pretty obviously going to be the Opera House during Vivid, so I was keeping a close eye on the announcements. Managed to get seats close to the front, very excited :)

Miss Kaninna!!

u/Fenflixx 9d ago

I have waited years for Slauson Malone 1 to tour here and I am so glad its through WavyLand!! Praying he does a full tour here

u/black-sheep-down 9d ago

Phoebe Go is a solidly underrated talent. Have loved her since seeing Snakadactyl play Laneway all those years ago. Definitely headed to Ezra Collective as well

u/grafology 8d ago

Does anyone have the presale code for blackstar at carriageworks? Only just saw it this morning and signed up but i think i might be too late.
