Pull up a picnic rug and get those candles ready; Australia’s biggest Christmas tradition is back at Sidney Myer Music Bowl this Christmas Eve.

Hosts David Campbell and Allison Langdon will be joined by Carols family favourites – Marina Prior, Denis Walter, David Hobson, Silvie Paladino, Anthony Callea and Tim Campbell – and Australia’s most beloved performers Tones And I, Dami Im, Sheppard, Casey Donovan, Joe Camilleri and The Black Sorrows, Gorgi Coghlan, Bonnie Anderson, Darlinghurst, Isaiah Firebrace, Lucy Durack, Bobby Fox, Rob Mills, Mahalia Barnes, Christie Whelan Browne, Esther Hannaford and more.

Vision Australia Radio will simulcast the event for those who can't be there. Aussies will be able to tune in to the radio broadcast to hear it all unfold complete with audio description, making this event more accessible to people living with blindness or low vison.

Can’t make it on Christmas Eve?

Bring your family and friends for a sneak peek as your favourite performers have one final rehearsal on 23 December.

Please be aware this is not a dress rehearsal. This is a practice for the big night and there may be sound checks and breaks during the rehearsal.
