Hello and welcome to Sydney This Week, your guide to the concerts, shows and outings worth knowing about across the city over the coming days.

Noah KahanTue, 6 Oct

We'll start big, with Noah Kahan at Afterpay Arena in Sydney Olympic Park on Tuesday the sixth of October. Kahan is a Vermont singer-songwriter whose 2022 album Stick Season became a genuine phenomenon. This is The Great Divide Tour, named for his fourth album, which digs into success, family and distance with a bigger, more anthemic sound around his honest storytelling.

Lord Of The Rings in ConcertWed, 7 Oct

On Wednesday the seventh, the TikTok Entertainment Centre in Darling Harbour hosts Lord of the Rings in Concert, marking twenty-five years of The Fellowship of the Ring. Howard Shore's score is played live as the film screens, with The Metropolitan Orchestra and two choirs, so the music carries the story.

Olivia DeanFri, 9 Oct

Then it's back to Afterpay Arena on Friday the ninth for Olivia Dean, a London-born singer trained at the BRIT School, whose heart-on-sleeve songs blend indie pop with a warm, Motown-tinged soul.

Ceramic Business District MarketSat, 10 Oct

Saturday the tenth is the busiest day, so let's go from morning to night. During the day, the Ceramic Business District Market fills the City of Sydney Creative Studios for Sydney Craft Week. Browse everyday pieces, sculpture and studio seconds, buy straight from the makers, and see installations by Wong Ching Yee and Sylvia Zi Xin.

Monster Jam World TourSat, 10 Oct

As evening arrives, Monster Jam World Tour rolls into Accor Stadium, with ten monster trucks, including Grave Digger and Sparkle Smash, flipping and jumping on stadium dirt.

ElissaSat, 10 Oct

Also that Saturday, Lebanese star Elissa plays the TikTok Entertainment Centre. She's the voice behind some of Arabic music's best-loved love songs, like Ayshalak and Halet Hob.

Hourglass Ensemble: Jazz NocturneSat, 10 Oct

And for a more intimate Saturday night, Sydney's Hourglass Ensemble presents Jazz Nocturne in the Opera House's Utzon Room: chamber music for strings, winds and piano with an after-dark, jazzy feel, mixing Australian composers like Percy Grainger and Elena Kats-Chernin with a world premiere by Richard Grantham.

That's the week, from arena anthems to handmade ceramics. Check the linked event details before you head out.

Friday 9 Oct · 8:00pm – 10:00pm

Dime debuts at Church Street Studios for a special opening night of Sydney's newest experimental jazz group. Dime is the hybrid electronic/acoustic experimental jazz project of Edan Walker (keys/synth), Anton Levings (beats/synth/fx), Zac Nisbet (bass), Sara Todner (trumpet) and Ethan Schembri (tenor sax). This project creates unique sonic textures through a combination of traditional and non-traditional instrumentation and is inspired by the works of Nala Sinephro, Floating Points and Nubya Garcia. Our group seeks to take the traditional improvised ethos of jazz and push it into a new direction with a unique line up. The group utilises experimental sonics that combine acoustic instruments like saxophone and trumpet with modular electronic synthesis paired with live drum programming and sampling, allowing soundscapes to weave in and out of groove and ambient spaces.

Saturday 10 Oct · 7:00pm – 10:30pm

Forget nostalgia. Electric Safari 2026 isn’t about preserving the past under museum glass —it’s about plugging it back into the mains and seeing what lights up. This October, the Electric Pandas tear up Australia’s east coast with songs from the forthcoming album A Love Electric, where melody collides with voltage and every chorus feels like it’s outrunning tomorrow. The classics are back too, because great songs never age. And then there’s Big Girls, detonated into a full-blown EDM fever dream by Brian Canham of Pseudo Echo. No safety net. No cruise control. Just beautiful noise, bright lights and the delicious possibility that anything could happen.
