Since 1995, we have built the UTOPIA events into what is now an institution in the Australian scene. The Utopia events continually expand with more patrons, more productions, and more performers, basically more of everything. From the first song, to the last killer anthem, thousands of people will witness a show unprecedented in Australia.This is the first time we have used the Parklands, Munro, Downes Pavilion and the surrounding grounds. This venue takes up a massive area of the Sydney Showground at Sydney Olympic Park and is by far one of the biggest spaces we have ever used for any UTOPIA event! Without a doubt, this venue is one of the most amazing places to throw down a huge party! The venue features 2 over size indoor pavilions and one giant outdoor grass arena which will be home to a 60m screen used to project main room party images and crazy visuals. Located in the true heart of Sydney, it’s easy to get to by train and packs plenty of parking if you’re driving.Utopia Music Festival will be the wildest and most intense Utopia event ever... the only question is...
