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.

Saturday 10 Oct · 9:00pm – 3:00am (next day)

An underground night dedicated to hard groove and hypnotic techno, taking inspiration from the sounds of artists such as Ben Sims, Oscar Mulero, Alarico and Rene Wise. We're keeping things focused on the music and the dancefloor, with extended 2 hour sets giving each artist the space to build a proper journey rather than sticking to the standard one-hour format. After a short break, we're coming back with a special collaboration between Doomscape and Neural, bringing the two communities together for the first time. This is an underground party made for proper ravers. No shortcuts, just deep, driving techno, extended journeys and a dance-floor built for those who come for the music. LINEUP & SET TIMES
