Follow The Art – Sydney Festival 2026

Embracing the art of summer since 1977, Sydney Festival is a city-wide celebration of culture, creativity and the questioning mind.

From the streets to the beach, in stately theatres and in secret basements, it animates locations across Greater Sydney with a trailblazing free and ticketed program of theatre, music, dance, visual art and all the experimental in-between places of live performance, Sydney Festival showcases our nation’s diverse storytellers to the world, whilst drawing the world’s finest artists to Sydney.

Kris Nelson, the new Festival Director for 2026, joined 2SER Breakfast to offer some timely advice on how you can immerse yourself in the heart of the art.
