Home to SSI New Beginnings Festival since 2016, Darling Harbour is located in the heart of Sydney’s CBD. We are excited to be presenting the 2024 festival at the iconic Australian National Maritime Museum.
Tickets & walk-ins
Anyone is welcome at New Beginnings Festival, which means we equally accept walk-ins and prebooked tickets via Humanitix.
As this is a popular and free event, we expect the venue to reach maximum capacity at some points during the festival. This means you might have to queue up on the day even if you have reserved a ticket. We recommend you come in early not to miss your favourite artist. We look forward to seeing you at New Beginnings Festival!

The Australian National Maritime Museum in Darling Harbour is accessible for persons using a wheelchair and for people with mobility impairments. For access information please visit the museum website here.
