Taking place over twelve dates from 3 January to 20 March, Sydney venue kingpins Merivale have teamed up with Corona to present a new outdoor gig series.
Sunday Sundown will showcase thirty-nine breakthrough Australian artists at three stunning waterside venues – Coogee Pavilion, ivy Pool Club and The Newport.
The vision of Sunday Sundown is to bring live music back to the forefront of Sydney’s enviable summer and provide an exciting platform to showcase great local talent.
From the Eastern Suburbs to the Northern Beaches, Sunday Sundown will provide a stage for Australian artists to not only cut their teeth and perform hotly-tipped tracks, but mix up their signature sounds with stripped backed sets and acoustic sessions.
But it’s not just the bands that will be on display, the venues themselves will be a drawcard for live music fans keen to get out of dark and dingy venues and into the summer sun.
One of those venue is Coogee Rooftop, a spectacular oasis overlooking the breathtaking Coogee shoreline, opens the series with Australia’s freshest music export, The Preatures (acoustic), on 3 January.
Rooftop party mecca ivy Pool Club will also play host to a formidable line-up of local dance talent for Sunday Sundown. With her fast flow, bossy beats and hella-high shoes, Adelaide emcee Tkay Maidza kicks things off at the pool on 10 January.
An impressive roster of support acts join the Pool Club line-up each week including Juno Mars, Surf Disco, Indian Summer, Two Can (DJ set), Chiefs and Nick Lynar.
Sunday Sundown will also reach The Newport, Merivale’s soon-to-be-launched venue on the idyllic Northern Beaches, in February.
With its expansive alfresco deck and sweeping views of Pittwater, The Newport will be the perfect spot to enjoy acoustic sets by local talent at sunset, kicked off by the eclectic, psychedelic sounds of indie duo Gypsy & The Cat on 21 February, while
Melbourne’s nine-piece soul outfit Saskwatch take over on 29 February.
Entry to Sunday Sundown sessions at The Newport and the Coogee Pavilion is free, while the shows the ivy Pool Club will set you back $20.
