What to expect

Expect a charged, committed crowd. Arriving on the early side buys you the good spots. Energy is the product. Pace yourself; the peak comes later than you think.

The essentials

Pricing is moderate, and the event runs Sun 19:30. You'll find it at Roslyn Packer Theatre Walsh Bay — the surrounding blocks carry the same energy, so the night doesn't have to end at one address.
