FORMA is an open air summer concert series and pop-up cultural hub at Eora/Sydney’s Tumbalong Park, Darling Harbour, running from Thursday 26 November to Sunday 6 December 2026. 

Across two weekends, the program features all-ages concerts spanning vintage disco, rock royalty and future-facing pop, alongside a curation of pop-up food vendors open to the public daily (outside of concert hours), including on non-concert nights. 

The series will also feature two free family-oriented events on Thursday, November 26 and the morning of Sunday, December 6.

FORMA takes place at Tumbalong Park, Darling Harbour, Sydney (Gadigal Land).

Almost all FORMA shows are all ages, with the exception of the Anjunadeep Open Air show on Saturday 28 November (strictly 18+).

For all other concerts, minors are welcome but must be accompanied by a parent or guardian at all times. Babes in arms (aged 2 and under) are free and do not require a ticket.

The FORMA dining precinct is open to the public throughout the day and outside of ticketed concert hours. The two family events are free to attend – no ticket required.

All concert performances are ticketed, with tickets available through our authorised partner, Moshtix.

FORMA features a free family event on Thursday 26 November, running 4–9pm. More details on programming will be announced soon. Entry is free and no ticket is required.

Additionally, FORMA is open for lunch every day for the NIVEA Sun Sessions, featuring performances from our band in residence, Sultry & Sample, performing on Friday, November 27 and then every day from Monday, November 30 – Sunday, December 6.

Each concert night features performances on the Tumbalong Park Sound Shell stage with bespoke production and sound. Alongside the concerts, FORMA will include pop-up bars and food vendors.

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 offsetting 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.

Established in 2006, Finely Tuned is an independent creative, music, events and touring agency based in Bondi Beach, Eora/Sydney – and in 2026, celebrating twenty years of operation. 

From our flagship festival Lost Paradise to individual artist tours, club nights and bespoke activations, we’re passionate about curating original live experiences that deliver impact, demand attention and shape culture.

Harnessing the power of music and live performance, we pride ourselves on delivering cutting-edge and influential events for music lovers young and old.
