Twilight at Taronga has locked in its full 2024 program, with Ball Park Music, Meg Mac, The Waifs, and The Cat Empire all scheduled to play at the famous harbour-side zoo next February. Running for a full month from Friday, 2nd February to Saturday, 2nd March, the series will kick off with Meg Mac, followed a day later by children’s entertainer Emma Memma and ABBA tribute act Bjorn Again.
