The Sydney Opera House and Airbnb today announced a new series of unique and intimate performances from inspiring First Nations artists that will take place in the stunning surrounds of the Utzon Room, the only Opera House venue designed entirely by its architect, Jørn Utzon.
Airbnb Concerts are immersive, shared experiences around live music, hosted by a local insider with a unique perspective on the music industry.

Curated by Sydney Opera House Head of First Nations Programming, Rhoda Roberts AO, the new series of one-of-a-kind experiences celebrates the vibrancy and rich contemporary culture of Australia’s First Nations, and will feature an incredible line-up of emerging and established First Nations artists, including:
• Filipino and Indigenous hip hop artist and drummer DOBBY (aka Rhyan Clapham);
• Rap royalty Tasman Keith;
• Australian hip hop host and musician Hau Latukefu;
• Singer-songwriter Radical Son (aka David Leha); and
• Rising indie-rock singer-songwriter Tia Gostelow.
Sam McDonagh, Australia and New Zealand Country Manager at Airbnb says: “Earlier this year we introduced Airbnb Concerts as a passion category of Experiences available to book on the platform. Music brings people together and is the language that bridges cultures, borders, and generations. There isn’t a more iconic Australian venue than the Sydney Opera House, and this intimate Concert Series will give Airbnb guests, both locals and travellers, the opportunity to engage with our music scene in a personal and authentic way.”
With the backdrop of Sydney Harbour on one side and Utzon’s tapestry homage to C.P.E. Bach on the other, the Utzon Room is a special setting to experience these up-close-and-personal performances spanning hip hop, R&B, soul and indie.
