Searching for the best music festivals in Sydney in 2022 & 2023!?  Well, look no further, because it’s one of my favorite cities in the world and a few of these Sydney Festivals have provided some of the best weekends of my life!

When it comes to festivals in Sydney (and the surrounding area), there really are so many incredible options!  I lived in Sydney for a year, and made it my mission to attend as many music festivals in Australia as I possibly could.  While I haven’t been to ALL of these on this list, I’ve actually been to my fair share of them.  The Australian festival culture is alive and vibrant, and I can guarantee you’ll love all the music and atmosphere at all these spectacular events!
