If Newtown is the heart of Sydney’s underground music scene, the pubs, bars, restaurants and shops that line King Street and the surrounding roads are what makes it beat.

Newtown’s King Street and its surrounding roads are home to some of the most diverse pubs, bars, restaurants and shops in Sydney. A true melting pot which celebrates diversity and prides itself on being the stomping ground for some of the most exciting emerging, and established musicians in the country. The King Street Crawl aims to celebrate this and for one day link all of these varying business in one long musical crawl up and down King Street and Enmore rd. Inspired by the South by Southwest music conference in Austin Texas, which transforms the city’s main road and the multiple bars and restaurants in and around 6th Avenue into one huge revolving music venue, The King Street Crawl aims to do likewise working with the Pubs, bars, restaurant and shops of Newtown.

The aim of The King Street Crawl is to shine a spotlight on Newtown and the varied establishments that make up this unique bohemian corner of Sydney, and give musicians of all levels and genres a wonderful platform to showcase their talents. This isn’t a music conference, just simply a day that celebrates music and Sydney’s inner west.
