Night At The Barracks And The Parkland 2025: Missy Higgins, Cut Copy, Icehouse + More

Night At The Barracks has returned for its fourth consecutive year, not only bringing its outdoor concert series to Sydney again but expanding north to Brisbane for the first time with its sister program Night At The Parkland. The former takes place in its usual home of the North Head Barracks in Manly, while the latter will take place at the Roma Street Parkland in the Brisbane CBD. The full program for both series, as well as pre-sale and ticketing information, can be found below.

Several Australian artists will be performing across both the Barracks and Parkland concert series – including Grinspoon, who are undertaking their 30th Birthday Bonanza national tour across the final months of 2025. Others who will perform across both programs include pop veterans Icehouse, indie siblings Lime Cordiale and the returning Cut Copy – who will play their first headlining Australian shows since 2018 as part of the line-up.

Lime Cordiale – ‘Screw Loose’

Performing exclusively on the Barracks line-up is ARIA Hall-Of-Famer Missy Higgins, playing a one-off headliner following her extensive 2024 national tour The Second Act, as well as the Hoodoo Gurus, who will celebrate the 40th anniversary of their second album, 1985’s Mars Needs Guitars!, for one night only. Performing exclusively on the Parkland line-up will be Xavier Rudd, who recently released a new single, ‘Where To Now’, and performed at this year’s seemingly-not-final Bluesfest.

“We are proud to be able to showcase to audiences in Sydney and Brisbane a quality all-Australian artist line-up that showcases the true depth of musical talent in this country,” said the event organisers in a press statement. “This not only includes our brilliant headliners, but also a great roster of support artists that will grace our stages across the series.” The complete line-ups for each show can be found below.
