You had me at music under the stars…

After two previous runs of shows which connected Aussie punters, some of the biggest artists in the country and one of the coolest music venues in the world, Night At The Barracks is back for a third time. And with today’s massive lineup dropping, we once again find ourselves sitting at our desks wishing that we could fast forward over winter and teleport ourselves to North Head in Manly for these shows already.

Running over four consecutive weekends, Night At The Barracks 2024 will see electro royalty The Presets, folk croonsmith Matt Corby, sun-soaked strummer Xavier Rudd, heavy hitters Birds Of Tokyo, along with Aussie legends Icehouse and Pete Murray all take to the stage. The undeniable Jessica Mauboy will also return to the Barracks following a huge set in 2022.

The event, which is supported by Future Super, fittingly also has two supergroup extravaganzas… Taylor Made is a Taylor Swift tribute featuring the likes of of Clare Bowditch, Alex the Astronaut, Clementine Ford, Charley, Emily Wurramurra and Lucy Durack. Plus there will be supergroup Australian Rock Collective (ARC) featuring members of Spiderbait, Powderfinger, The Wrights and You Am I, will perform two blistering sets of their favourite hits from iconic artists such as Led Zeppelin, AC/DC, Neil Young, The Easybeats, Jet, Powderfinger, Pink Floyd, The Beatles and Midnight Oil.

Speaking of rock royalty, Jon Stevens will be paying tribute to the legendary bands that catapulted him to the pinnacle of the Aus music scene, with The Noiseworks and INXS Collection showcasing an outstanding catalogue of hits.

Night At The Barracks is also dedicated to environmental sustainability by implementing green initiatives such as reusable aluminium cups, 100% recycled merchandise, renewable energy, and waste management to minimise their carbon footprint. So you can boogie the night(s) away guilt free.
