ACROSS SIX NIGHTS AT CARRIAGEWORKS, EVELEIGH NSW
THIS DECEMBER & JANUARY
Renowned live music curators Finely Tuned today unveil a forward-thinking new music program THE WORKS, taking over Gadigal Land/Sydney’s iconic Carriageworks this 2025/26 Summer. Steaming up the season’s cultural calendar, the series will see world-class electronic music artists including Underworld, Ben Böhmer, Chris Stussy, CamelPhat, I Hate Models, Mark Rebillet, Ross From Friends (pres. Bubble Love), Pretty Girl (live) and many more convene in one of the country’s most significant creative hubs across six cutting edge warehouse events.
Invoking the spirit of global hallowed halls like London’s Printworks and Drumsheds, THE WORKS puts ambitious production, world-leading artists and state of the art creative direction at the forefront of these innovative, high-impact and sonically versatile experiences. From pioneering rave icons to mainstream festival heavyweights, club circuit heroes to trailblazing innovators – THE WORKS will host more than 20 local and international acts across four carefully curated, unmissable weeks. Channeling large-scale warehouse energy while honouring the underground, these are Sydney’s hottest Summer tickets.
British electronic icons Underworld will headline the opening event on 29 December, showcasing the daringly blurred boundaries, top of the class live show and generation-defining anthems that have labelled them one of dance music’s most influential acts. Accompanying them, cult favourite Ross From Friends will present his high energy club-pop project Bubble Love, alongside a local lineup of Australia’s own globe-trotting producer Roza Terenzi and one of the Sydney circuit’s favourite DJs, Reenie.
In a mammoth New Year’s weekend offering something for everyone, French industrial artist I Hate Models’ raw, frenetic energy and unhinged selections will come alive within the industrial surrounds of Carriageworks on 2 January, alongside Polish techno maximalist VTSS, rising Scottish DJ Sim0ne and local label head MASSI. in a night of non-confirmist attitudes and thunderous sets. German melodic house heavyweight Ben Böhmer will inject the space with his euphoric audiovisual show on 3 January, joined by Australia’s own electronic powerhouse Pretty Girl and a special local b2b set from PARIS and Juno Mamba. Meanwhile 4 January will see a takeover by irreverent American provocateur Marc Rebillet, with his Coachella and Glastonbury-approved improvised funk and hip-hop tinged cuts, outrageous beats and free flowing humour, joined by storied NYC party starter A-Trak, one of Australia’s most legendary contemporaries Young Franco and local gem Madame Reve.
10 January will host an essential figure propelling modern house music – Dutch DJ, producer and label head Chris Stussy, as well as a b2b from the UK’s next big breakouts Josh Baker and Prospa that promises plenty of fist-pumping frenzies. Then, the 2025/26 season will round out on 16 January with a visit from Grammy-nominated global house icons CamelPhat, widely declared one of dance music’s most innovative forces backed by billions of streams and an era-defining anthem under their belt, “Cola”. They’ll be joined by Samantha Loveridge, known for her technical flair blending melodic house with Middle-Eastern and Afro sounds, plus deep and dreamy house with Sydney-based selector OLIIV. See below for the full list of dates and lineups.
Led by creative, music, events and touring agency Finely Tuned (Lost Paradise, Lost Sundays, ABOVE), this fresh, forward-thinking series expands the team’s dedication to delivering memorable live moments inspired by global music and cultural sensibilities, injected with a local spirit.
