The Sydney Opera House have this afternoon announced the full lineup of more than thirty local and international artists who will be joining Morrissey during his meat-free residency throughout May as part of the beloved annual cultural bacchanal, Vivid LIVE.
As previously reported, Morrissey will be joined by local legends like Daniel Johns, The Preatures, The Drones and Royal Headache over the festival’s ten day run, which will also feature a mammoth tenth birthday Future Classic showcase over two nights of performances by label-mates Flume, Flight Facilities, Seekae, Hayden James, Touch Sensitive, Wave Racer, George Maple and Charles Murdoch.
New York musical gods TV On The Radio and Sufjan Stevens will also return to Sydney, with the latter opening the program with a four-night residency in the Concert Hall in his only Australian performances. R.I.P. Me. I’m crying.
VIVID runs from May 22nd to June 8th at various venues throughout Sydney. Tickets go on sale to the general public at 9:00am, Friday 27 March 2015 from the Vivid website. The full lineup reads as follows.
