Paddington, Sydney
Paddington has long been one of Sydney's cultural tastemaking suburbs. From the Paddington Markets to Oxford Street's galleries and clubs, the neighbourhood is a destination for people to soak up the best of Sydney's nightlife and culture. With PADDO(collective)'s third annual Live Music & Art Week, this reputation shows no sign of stopping any time soon.
PADDO(collective) Live Music & Art Week brings together live gigs, gallery openings, DJ sets, historical walking tours and culture across the suburb's favourite bars, pubs and galleries. Running from Wednesday, January 28, to Sunday, February 8, the week is a suburb-wide celebration featuring both free and ticketed events. Here are some highlights to lock into your summer itinerary.
