Party in Kings Cross With Keep Sydney Open Music Festival

Like so many other cities, Sydney has lost many of its great live music venues. Keep Sydney Open is fighting back with Meet Me In The Cross, a big musical party staged at seven of the Cross’s most beloved venues on July 1.

One $30 ticket will grant you entry to Kings Cross Hotel, The World Bar, Candys Apartment, Potts Point Hotel (formerly Kit & Kaboodle ), Crane Bar, Jangling Jack’s, and Sweethearts Rooftop. You’ll also get some great deals from awesome food vendors and traders plying their wares through the night. You can bounce between the venues, taking in the great music across all stages, until it wraps up at 3 am.

“We’re super excited to be partnering with Keep Sydney Open and the rest of the Kings Cross Precinct,” says Greg Turton of The World Bar. “A music festival is a great opportunity to highlight just some of the awesome talent that is on show every weekend in Eastside Sydney. Hopefully this will be the first of many.”

Tickets are on sale now from Eventbrite.
