Disco Never Dies
Sydney Symphony Presents
Hordern Pavilion
Thu 22 Jan, 2026, 7.00pm
Calling all Dancing Queens and Raining Men! It’s time to head back out on the dancefloor and show the world that Disco Never Dies!
Join us in a boogie wonderland as we play that funky music, in this high-energy celebration of all things sequins, mirrorballs and iconic fashions.
Relive the glory days of disco as the biggest hits of this incredible era are brought to life by the full power of the Sydney Symphony Orchestra and some of Australia’s best vocal talent including Paulini (Australian Idol, The Bodyguard), ARIA Award-nominated Emma Donovan, genre-defying singer-songwriter Jess Hitchcock and Jesse Dutlow (RENT, & Juliet), led by conductor Carlo Antonioli and hosted by Kween Kong (Drag Race Global All Stars).
Featuring megahits like ‘I Love The Night Life’, ‘That's the Way (I Like It)’, ‘Don't Leave Me This Way’ and ‘It's Raining Men’, plus disco anthems by Michael Jackson, Diana Ross, Bee Gees and Donna Summer, it’s a party at the Hordern Pavilion, and you’re all invited!
