TWILIGHT AT TARONGA 2026 SUMMER CONCERT SERIES | The season has begun!
The Twilight at Taronga 2026 Summer Concert Series has begun, setting the bar high on the opening weekend with packed shows for Friday night’s indie-folk-rock from The Paper Kites, Saturday night’s double header from Cloud Control and The Preatures, and a sold out show for Saturday morning’s Lil’ Twilight with the much loved children’s favourite, Emma Memma.

Tickets are still available from twilightattaronga.org.au for upcoming shows including Sons of the East (February 12, second show), Classic Hits Live (February 14 – less than 100 tickets remaining for this Valentine’s Day show!), The Rubens (February 26), Vera Blue (February 27), Dope Lemon (March 1, second show), Marlon Williams (March 5) and Bliss n Eso (March 6).
With 16 shows to choose from across five back-to-back weekends, this year’s series includes seven sold out shows by artists Emma Memma (February 7), Sons of the East (February 13), Xavier Rudd (February 20, 21,22), Dope Lemon (February 28) and Bjorn Again (March 7).
Ticket proceeds contribute to Taronga Zoo’s new Wildlife Hospital to help protect the future of Australian wildlife.
Dope Lemon will play two shows on the second last weekend of the series, with tickets still available for the March 1 show.
Angus Stone from Dope Lemon said, “Come and enjoy Sydney Harbour under the stars with us…after our first Twilight at Taronga show sold out so quickly we decided to do a second show on March 1. So, if you missed out on tickets the first time then this is your chance to join us and let the night unfold its magic at Taronga Zoo!”
Surely Shirley are warmly welcomed back to the Twilight at Taronga stage, as they open for Dope Lemon on February 28 (sold out) and March 1. These sisters play a delightful fusion of tropical doo-wop and 60s ballads, infused with pop and indie elements, setting the stage with the perfect vibes for the night ahead.
So, whether your taste in music lies with indie-pop or Aussie hip-hop, Twilight at Taronga has you covered with this epic line-up!
