DAVID CAMPBELL JOINS SUNSET PIAZZA PROGRAM
One of Australia’s most popular and versatile entertainers, ARIA Award-winning, multiplatinum-selling recording artist David Campbell brings his Back In Swing big band show to the Sunset Piazza, completing the 2021 season program.
Theatre, cabaret, concert performer and Today Extra co-host, the Helpmann Award winner is one of our leading musical theatre stars and most successful global exports thanks to his award-wining shows Dream Lover: The Bobby Darin Musical, Shout! The Legend of The Wild One and Stephen Sondheim’s Assassins.

In January, The NSW Government and City of Sydney unveiled a new COVID-safe, pop-up outdoor performance venue and concert series. Brought to you by the team at Sydney Festival, led by Artistic Director Olivia Ansell and programmed by Chris Twite, Sunset Piazza – an Italo-themed summer pop-up stage – is a series of performances spanning contemporary pop, comedy, hip hop and indie rock from 28 January to 21 of March, Tickets to all events only $25.
Located at Cathedral Square opposite Hyde Park, Sunset Piazza is a key outcome from the NSW Government’s Summer Summit and part of the City of Sydney’s Al Fresco City initiative – a $20 million revitalisation project aimed at transforming the city into an outdoor cultural experience. Replete with artisan providores – serving everything from crostino to cannoli – attendees can enjoy a pre-show aperitivo and sip on a spritz or a Negroni as they settle in for a selection of Sydney’s best DJs, pre-show.
Sunset Piazza is an invitation to Sydneysiders to come out and safely celebrate the Harbour City this summer. With performances across 32 nights, we’ve got your culture covered, but with limited tickets per performance, tickets will sell out. All events will follow COVID-safe regulations and guests are reminded to follow the latest NSW Health advice regarding social distancing, hygiene and staying home if unwell.
