Vivid LIVE Announces Full Lineup: José González, Cat Power, Dev Hynes and More

José González, Cat Power, Dev Hynes, Yaeji, and Ella Mai lead the 2023 lineup for Vivid LIVE, which will take over various venues inside the Sydney Opera House as part of Vivid Sydney from Friday, 26th May to Saturday, 17th June.

Vivid LIVE will host the debut Sydney performances of German composer Max Richter, who’ll be bringing his Ambient Orchestra to life with the Sydney Symphony Orchestra, and Ethel Cain, the cult indie artist who has recently shot to fame off the back of her album Preacher’s Daughter.

Ethel Cain: ‘American Teenager’

González will be celebrating the 20th anniversary of his album Veneer with a stripped back solo performance, while Cat Power will be bringing her Bob Dylan show Cat Power Sings Dylan: The 1966 Royal Albert Hall Concert to the Opera House. A Vivid exclusive, Hynes will be appearing with the SSO to perform selected classical works.

Elsewhere on the lineup, Korean-American producer Yaeji will be bringing her debut album With A Hammer down under. Soul and funk bassist Thundercat, LA singer-songwriter Weyes Blood, and UK electronic punk duo Sleaford Mods will also deliver sets.

There are plenty of locals locked in, including Jaguar Jonze, Becca Hatch, Hiatus Kaiyote, and Budjerah. Kimbra, who just released her new album A Reckoning, is set to appear, and there’ll be studio parties from House of Mince, Future Classic, and more. Check out the full Vivid LIVE lineup below, and see the full program on the website.

As part of the wider music program for Vivid Sydney, Inner West venue Carriageworks has released its own lineup, which features acts like Flying Lotus, Kobie Dee, JK-47, Belarusian post-punk outfit Molchat Doma, and Desire Marea.
