Twilight at Taronga 2015: Line-Up Announcement

TaT_
From the world-class vantage point of its harbour-side amphitheatre, Twilight at Taronga returns this summer for the 20th anniversary series, with 17 brilliant concerts across each Friday and Saturday night from Friday 30th January to Saturday 21st March, 2015.

Celebrating Sydney’s summer in style, with breathtaking 180-degree harbour and city views, Taronga Zoo is proud to present performances from iconic Australian artists including Bernard Fanning, Paul Kelly presents Merri Soul Sessions, You Am I, Sarah Blasko, Dan Sultan, Something for Kate, international guests Belle and Sebastian, Conor Oberst, Rufus Wainwright and many more.

Fan favourites Bjorn Again and the James Morrison Big Band are welcomed back to the Twilight stage and ARIA Award winner Anthony Callea will celebrate the songs of George Michael with his full band on Valentine’s Day.

While the 2015 series sees Twilight at Taronga introduce its most modern and eclectic program in its 20-year history, the event remains an all ages affair, where concertgoers are invited to pull up a picnic or enjoy a delicious hamper from Taronga Piazza inspired by Giovanni Pilu, which are available to pre-purchase online – twilightattaronga.org.au

Taronga Zoo is a licensed venue and a strict no BYO alcohol policy is in place. So leave the esky at home and enjoy a chilled champagne, wine, beer or cider from the full service bar.

Getting to Twilight at Taronga has never been easier with return public transport included in the price of every ticket and Taronga Zoo a stunning 15-minute ferry ride from Circular Quay. For more details on how to get to Twilight at Taronga – visit twilightattaronga.org.au

Symbolising the series, Taronga Zoo commissioned iconic Australian artist and Twilight regular Ken Done to design the 20th Anniversary artwork. Optimistic, colourful and bold, Ken Done has perfectly captured the spirit of Twilight at Taronga.

By helping Taronga Zoo celebrate the 20th anniversary of Twilight at Taronga, concert goers are also making a valuable contribution to conservation, with all profits from the series going to support the work of the Taronga Conservation Society Australia.
