The biggest drone show to ever take to the skies in the southern hemisphere will soar above The Rocks and Circular Quay in a celebration of the planets, galaxies and constellations that have mesmerised, guided and inspired humanity for thousands of years. Trace the secret coves of Sydney, dive beneath Australia’s oceans with their magnificent wildlife, brush across snow-capped mountains and get up close to incredible corals via projections that stretch from the ceiling to the floor. Wander for 2.1 kilometres beneath tree canopies beaming colour, around oversized flowers and through luminous tunnels for a multi-sensory after-dark adventure.įour 360-degree artworks will be projected throughout the yawning chambers of The Cutaway at Barangaroo, transporting viewers to Australia’s natural wonders. The lush Royal Botanic Garden is the backdrop for Lightscape, a bewitching immersive experience arriving in Sydney after stints in the US, UK and Melbourne. Eight rooms are each soaked in a different colour, with each designed to provoke a different mood.

A network of abandoned railway tunnels below Wynyard Station is opening to the public for the first time for a world-premiere multi-sensory experience channelling the otherworldly exhilaration of underground dancefloors.
