Twenty Sixteen: The Live Rockumentary

Information

The five-star rockumentary hit of Adelaide Fringe comes to Sydney, with an 8-piece band starring Kylie Auldist (The Bamboos), Jaron Jay and Dusty Lee Stephensen (Wanderers).

In 2016, we felt the loss of music icons David Bowie, George Michael, Prince, Leonard Cohen, Maurice White (Earth Wind & Fire), Glenn Frey (Eagles), Sharon Jones, Leon Russell and Rick Parfitt (Status Quo). A decade later, it's time to honour these beloved legends who gave us the soundtrack to our lives. This isn’t a memorial – it’s a celebration turned up loud!

Upon its debut at Adelaide Fringe 2026, Twenty Sixteen became an instant sensation – lauded for its exceptional musicianship, craft and powerhouse vocals. Now it’s Sydney’s turn to reclaim the year the music died, in the city’s best-sounding music Hall.

“This show is exceptional.” Glam Adelaide

“…music that transcend both generations and genres.” Hi Fi Way

“This deeply moving show immerses the crowd in the music and lives of these late artists, and is guaranteed to have them singing, dancing, laughing and sobbing along.” InDaily

“Eight pieces. Tight. Precise. Driven.” The Scoop

“full-throttle, spine-tingling, memory-activating....This isn’t a quiet memorial. It’s a celebration turned up loud by full-force talent.” On Your Markus

“powerful, joy-filled reminder of just how deeply music binds memory, grief and celebration.” The Upside News
