Go wild at Taronga Zoo twilight concerts
Taronga Zoo will open its gates to musicians and party animals this summer, with the Sun-Herald Twilight at Taronga series of concerts from January 28 until March 31 to be headlined by Australia’s legendary rock band, The Church.
Recently inducted into the ARIA Hall of Fame, The Church will be followed by an impressive lineup including Mark Seymour and James Reyne, Tom Burlinson, and Marina Prior.
Concert promoter, Paul Chesher, said: “Australian music legend Richard Clapton teams up with Wendy Matthews to play the songs that warmed the hearts of a generation, then we wrap up the series with international jazz maestro and Taronga favourite, James Morrison, for a funky farewell night of classic jazz.”
Organisers said the leafy venue with the chorus of animal calls in the background has made the Zoo a successful venue for open-air concerts.
“Bring along your own picnic or purchase fresh sandwiches, salads, fish and chips, beer, wine and soft drinks at the concert site. Or, you can order a gourmet picnic hamper for two via Ticketek,” Mr Chesher said.
Zoo entry is free from 3pm for ticket holders, so audience members can enjoy a full day of entertainment for the whole family, from visiting the giraffes and zebras, to watching their favourite musical acts and dancing the night away.
“Set against the stunning backdrop of Sydney Harbour and the exotic chorus of animal calls, this is truly an awe-inspiring Sydney summer experience not to be missed,” Mr Chesher said.
