Al Green muthafuckas. That’s right The Reverend himself is coming over to headline Sydney Festival and that’s not all. They’ve got John Cale, The Dirty Three and The Laughing Clowns, Grizzly Bear, The Books and so much more.
This marks yet another year of Sydney Festival kicking ass and taking names. We love you Sydney Festival, we love you so much.
