Key Information
Forma is an open air summer concert series and pop-up cultural hub taking place at Eora/Sydney’s Tumbalong Park, Darling Harbour from Thursday, November 26 – Sunday, December 6, 2026.
In addition to the two weekends of all-ages open air concerts spanning vintage disco acts, rock royalty and future-facing pop, Forma will also feature a curation of pop-up food vendors open to the public throughout the day and on non-concert nights (Nov 26, Nov 30, Dec 1, Dec 2) for alfresco summer dining.

Presented by Finely Tuned,
Finely Tuned recognises the impact large-scale events have on the environment and is taking action to minimise FORMA’s carbon emissions.
In partnership with Cool Planet and Greenfleet, FORMA will strive to be carbon positive, with Finely Tuned leveraging over 20 years of event experience to reduce impact wherever we can.
- Together with Cool Planet, we’ll measure the carbon impact across artist and patron travel, venue energy, catering and food, production and logistics.
- Finely Tuned will commit to offseting 120%+ of the event’s calculated carbon footprint. A portion of each ticket sold will contribute towards this goal.
- In partnership with Greenfleet, offset proceeds will flow to support the restoration of legally protected, native Australian forests that remove carbon and provide vital habitat to koalas and other wildlife.
FORMA aims to celebrate the power of live music bringing people together without it costing the planet.
Across the program, Forma aims to create space for different generations to experience live music together.
- Forma is a Licensed All Ages event. Babes in arms (aged 2 and under) are admitted free and do not require a ticket. Patrons under 18 years must be accompanied by a parent or guardian at all times.
- Anjunadeep on Saturday, November 28 is strictly 18+. Approved photo ID will be required.
- An additional free family-oriented free event will take place on Thursday, November 26.
- NIVEA Sun Sessions will feature free musical performances from Sultry & Sample, soundtracking the FORMA dining precinct during lunchtimes on Friday, November 27 and then every day from Monday, November 30 – Sunday, December 6.
Outside of ticketed concert performances, access to the pop-up dining precinct is free of charge and open to all. Proof of age will be required to purchase alcohol.
Great music deserves incredible food. Across the series, Forma brings a considered food offering to Tumbalong Park, creating a place to gather before, after and between shows.
Open throughout the season, the precinct gives guests every reason to stay a while – settle in, grab a bite and soak up the atmosphere in the heart of Eora/Sydney.
