Sold-out Khruangbin concert to be livestreamed to audiences worldwide

Sydney – Friday 21 October, 2022. The Sydney Opera House today announced that upcoming sold-out performance by Texas psychedelic trio Khruangbin will be livestreamed from the Opera House’s newly-transformed Concert Hall to audiences worldwide. Hosted on Stream, the Opera House’s online streaming platform showcasing world-class performing and digital arts, the live event will kick off at 8pm AEDT on Sunday 27 November, 2022 and will be available to watch for seven days, with tickets now on-sale to fans anywhere in the world.

Inspired by ‘60s Thai funk, Tarantino soundtracks and surf-rock cool, the universally adored three-piece will deliver a hypnotic Sydney Opera House debut, drawing on their critically lauded sophomore album Con Todo el Mundo, their smash collaboration with Leon Bridges in Texas Sun, and their hit third record Mordechai, praised by Variety as “this unusual and alluring group’s best work yet.”

Sydney Opera House Head of Digital Programming, Stuart Buchanan says: “We’re delighted to be able to celebrate this milestone moment in a phenomenal career trajectory for the band. This livestream gives fans who are unable to attend the completely sold-out season a chance to enjoy Khruangbin’s famously captivating live show, no matter where they are in the world.”

The livestream complements a bumper program of new music, documentaries, talks and kids content released this month, available to watch now on Stream.
