Events this weekend in Pyrmont this weekend 🔥

This weekend in Pyrmont is not for the early-to-bed crowd. The city’s running on big-night-out energy, with metalheads, Latin dancers and 90s tragics all fighting for space in your group chat. With more than 900 people already circling the same handful of nights out, this isn’t a “maybe I’ll see how I feel” kind of weekend – it’s a book-now-or-stay-home situation.

If you like your music loud and your eyeliner darker than your mood, the Infernal Metal Festival is the one you lock in first. It’s the big, unapologetic centrepiece of the weekend – the kind of gig where you walk out hoarse, ecstatic and suddenly very protective of your hearing. On the other end of the spectrum (but with the same level of commitment), the New Medieval Album Launch is the pick for the purists who still care about musicianship, riffs and actually listening to what’s on stage instead of just filming it for Instagram.

Feeling social rather than emotional? Zouk Life Playgrounds: Brazilian Summer is where the flirty dancers go. It’s sweaty, vibey and packed with people who actually know how to move. If you’ve got even a passing interest in Latin rhythms, the LDA CHOREOGRAPHIES – LATIN SOUL GALA 2026 is the dress-up, show-off option – polished choreo, big performances and a crowd that lives for a dramatic body roll. It’s not low-key, and that’s the point.

When you want something with a bit more grit, Blues Experience IX at the Native Rose is your escape route. It’s the choice for people who like their nights slower, their solos longer and their drink options more pub than cocktail bar. And if nostalgia is your love language, the N-Trance, Technotronic, Livin' Joy, Artful Dodger in Sydney bill is the full throwback – a shameless, hands-in-the-air time warp for anyone who still knows all the words and doesn’t care who hears them. With reliable haunts like Foundry Theatre, ivy Sydney and The Bridge Hotel hosting the chaos, you’re covered whether you’re chasing live riffs, club sweat or something in between.

If you’re deciding what to actually do this weekend in Pyrmont, start here:
- **Infernal Metal Festival** – Big, loud, and the one you book first if you’re even remotely metal-adjacent.
- **New Medieval Album Launch** – For people who still turn up for an album, not just a playlist.
- **Zouk Life Playgrounds: Brazilian Summer** – High-contact, high-energy dancing with serious summer-in-February vibes.
- **LDA CHOREOGRAPHIES – LATIN SOUL GALA 2026** – Dress up, clap loudly, pretend you could totally do that routine if you “had time to train”.
- **Blues Experience IX at the Native Rose** – Perfect if you love live guitars and hate packed dancefloors.
- **N-Trance, Technotronic, Livin' Joy, Artful Dodger in Sydney** – A chaotic 90s time capsule you’ll feel in your knees tomorrow.
