Sydney’s new house music series Petting Zoo will now take place indoors due to extreme heat, with organisers confirming a venue move to Plaza (600 George Street) for its debut on Saturday 10th January, 2026. The venue swap ensures a safe, fully air-conditioned experience while keeping the festival’s bold energy intact.

The updated event will now run from 7pm to 3am, taking over every level of the expansive Plaza venue—from basement to theatre—with immersive production, confetti drops, inflatables, and world-class sound. The new format will feature extended back-to-back DJ sets from an eclectic lineup of international and local talent.

Artists set to perform include Jordan Brando, Parker, Laidlaw, Locky, Newtone, Known Artist, Kenry, High Visa, Ca Lou, Mep, Me1to, and recent DJ competition winner Ethan Melton. With a focus on forward-thinking talent and playful, community-first energy, Petting Zoo aims to disrupt the traditional day party format.

Tickets for the new indoor edition are on sale now. All existing ticketholders can opt for a full refund, while the team promises an elevated and weather-proof dancefloor experience for Sydney’s house music lovers.

LINES has announced its debut day festival, Petting Zoo, set to take over the University of Sydney on Saturday 10th January, 2026. Known for their cult social accounts Bondi Lines and Melbourne Lines, LINES will bring their online influence into the real world with a bold new house music experience in the heart of the city.

The festival promises a hyper-colour celebration of sound, transforming a university car park into a multi-stage playground curated by production designer Blake Moody. Petting Zoo will feature immersive art, unexpected performances, and a stacked house lineup blending emerging Australian artists with international names making their debut down under. Among the headliners are Locky (UK), Newtone (NL), Known Artist (FR), Pricila Diaz (BR), and Stacie Fields (AU), with secret guests still to be revealed.

Petting Zoo will introduce a new “Arrive By” ticketing system, rewarding early entry and helping to maintain energy across the full day. Pre-sale opens Tuesday 2nd December at 12pm, with general sale following Wednesday 3rd December. Tickets start at just $59, offering great value for a global-quality lineup.
