KING STREET CRAWL RETURNS FOR 2025 – WE’RE BACK, BABY!

Mark your calendars for Sunday, July 13th – Sydney’s most beloved music festival is making its triumphant return!

After a short hiatus, your favourite music crawl is back and bigger than ever, taking over 25+ Inner West venues and hosting 100+ artists spanning all levels and genres. That’s right, the King Street Crawl is returning to transform Newtown into Sydney’s ultimate live music playground for one epic day.

A Celebration of Newtown’s Cultural Heart

The King Street Crawl has always been about more than just music – it’s a celebration of everything that makes Newtown special. This year, we’re continuing that tradition by linking the diverse businesses and venues into one long musical journey up and down King Street, Enmore and Erskineville Roads.

Our mission? To shine a spotlight on the incredible variety of establishments and talent that make up this truly unique melting pot of Sydney. From beloved pubs to hidden gems, the Crawl brings together the community in a way that only music can.

The Best Part? It’s ALL FREE!

Just like previous Crawls, entry will be FREE to all participating venues! We believe great music should be accessible to everyone, and the King Street Crawl remains committed to that principle.

Participating Venues

This year’s venue lineup is absolutely stacked! You’ll find incredible live music at:

Bootleggers / BUDDY’S / Coopers Hotel / Kelly’s On King / Marly Bar / Mary’s / MoshPit Bar / Newtown Hotel / Palimino Lounge / Pleasure Club / The Bank Hotel / The Duke / The Enmore Hotel / The Hive Bar / The Midnight Special / The Trocadero / The Union / The Vanguard / The Vic / The Warren View / Tokyo Sing Song / Upstairs Marly / Uncanny / Waywards / Websters + more to be announced

All Ages Welcome!

New for 2025, the event will feature dedicated all-ages spaces, and some venues may be accessible for minors with a parental guardian. We’re working hard to make this event as inclusive as possible, so everyone can enjoy the magic of live music. Detailed information on this will be announced closer to the date.
