This Friday sees Night At The Barracks take things up a notch, with none other than Josh Pyke hitting the stage for a career-spanning set of classic hits. Joined by Emma Donovan & The Putbacks, this sort of amazing lineup is exactly the sort of thing Night At The Barracks aims to provide, with some of the country’s finest artists coming together to take part in this unique live music experience.

But it doesn’t end there though. The series also boasts the likes of David Hobson and Lucy Durack, the Australian Rock Collective (Kram/Darren Middleton/Mark Wilson/Davey Lane) celebrating The Beatles’ Let It Be 50th anniversary, an exclusive double bill from the Sydney Dance Company, The Rubens, Symphony Under The Stars, Bjorn Again and 80’s Symphonica – who will perform all the greatest hits from the ’80s, in an orchestral fashion.

As the series wraps up, audiences will also be treated to sets from the likes of Winston Surfshirt, the James Morrison Motown Experience in addition to James Morrison & His Big Band featuring Emma Pask. Lastly, Night At The Barracks wraps up with a special show from the iconic Tim Finn, who will be joined by special guest Martha Marlow with the great Chris Abrahams.

Finn will perform a vast array of tracks from his esteemed solo career, and cuts from his work with not only Split Enz but also the beloved Crowded House. Needless to say, it’s an event not to be missed, and will provide a memorable way to cap off the series.

Tickets to all the remaining shows for Night At The Barracks are on sale now, with audience members urged not to miss the chance to catch this gorgeous pairing of art and natural beauty for these once-in-a-lifetime events. Full lineup and ticketing details are available below.
