Twilight at Taronga & Melbourne Zoo Twilights
In good news for people who like nice things, Twilight at Taronga and Melbourne Zoo Twilights are back! Yup, they’ve just announced their line-ups for the summer of 2017.
Set amongst the lovely environments of Melbourne Zoo and Taronga Zoo, these ope-air events are the best. This summer will see Melbourne Zoo Twilights and Twilight at Taronga open their series with both fearless Australian frontman Peter Garrett & The Alter Egos and Kev Carmody, and the original lineup of Jo Jo Zep & The Falcons and The Sports in a rare performance.
The act we’re most excited about is probs the return (at long, long last) of beautiful Scottish alt-rockers Teenage Fanclub, who are playing their first Sydney show since 2005. Then there’s Killing Heidi and george’s reunion shows, and The Living End will be accompanied by a string quartet for a special ‘Twangin’ at Twilight’ stripped back show. Oh, and let’s not forget Kurt Vile.
Taking to the stage at Melbourne Zoo Twilights are dream-pop quartet Warpaint, as well as celebrated Australian rockers Hoodoo Gurus and legendary British ska band The Specials.
All tickets to Twilight at Taronga include free same-day Zoo entry, plus free return ferry travel from Circular Quay from 5:15pm; bus transfers from Taronga wharf to the main Zoo entrance; and post-show buses to Spit Junction and Mosman.
All Melbourne Zoo Twilights ticketholders have free same-day Zoo entry between 5:30pm – 7:00pm on the evening of the concert, so be sure to come in early to explore all it has to offer.
All proceeds from the Melbourne Zoo Twilights and Twilight at Taronga presented by ANZ summer concert series go back into their ongoing conservation work.
