Sydney Summertime has announced The Strokes as its first headliner, with Beck, Courtney Barnett and Promiseland also set to perform at Centennial Park on Sat 20 Feb 2027!

Presented by Secret Sounds and Live Nation, the concert will conclude The Strokes' highly anticipated return to Australia in February for Reality Awaits Australia 2027, marking their only Sydney show and only outdoor show of the national run. The show will open Sydney Summertime's inaugural season across late February and early March, with further international headliners and Australian artists to be announced in the coming months.

The Strokes will be joined by Beck, Courtney Barnett and Promiseland for Sydney Summertime. Grammy Award-winning singer-songwriter Beck is beloved by Australian audiences, having played countless sold-out shows across a career spanning four decades, while Courtney Barnett makes a long-awaited return to the spotlight with new album Creature of Habit. Rounding out the line-up is Promiseland, the high-energy project of Johann Rashid, signed to Julian Casablancas' Cult Records and known for his explosive live performances.

The concert will be open to ages 16 and over. Food and drink will form part of the outdoor concert experience, with a mix of Sydney restaurant pop-ups, food trucks and local producers joining dedicated cocktail and beer offerings throughout Centennial Park.
