Synthony across AU

Posted in Tours on October 7, 2022

Picture me in a beret and let me conjure the following:

A full sixty-piece orchestra, DJs and carolers backed by a hypnotixzing laser light show that performs a potpourri of some of the most palatable dance tracks of the last three decades.

Sounds good?

The telling portmeanteau for the incarnation of the aforementioned is SYNTHONY, designed to be a carefully curated and immersive  experience, it will set up home in one of the more epochal live music venues of Australia, i,e, picturesque Cockatoo Island (Sydney) - showcasing the versatility of the show’s virtuoso nature and aptness to incarnation at arenas, parks and islands on terra australia. 

SYNTHONY will incarnate at the Riverstage in Brisbane on May 28, before continuing on to Perth RAC Arena (Perth), WIN Entertainment Centre (Wollongong), Newcastle Entertainment Centre (Newcastle), Adelaide Entertainment Centre (Adelaide), Cockatoo Island (Sydney) and a season finale to the event’s second jubilant year in Australia at Hobart Wrest Point Lawns, Hobart on November 19.
