Sycco, Touch Sensitive and Emma Louise to Perform at Future Classic's 20th Birthday

Australian record label and music collective Future Classic will be taking over an iconic Sydney venue for one night only in February, as it celebrates 20 years in the business.

Spanning three stages at City Recital Hall on Friday, February 27th, the celebration will consist of hours of music, dancing, and discovery, honouring the label's two decades of fostering community, innovation, and creativity. The event is 18+.

From its early days throwing underground club nights, Future Classic has grown into an international powerhouse. Now home to a record label, management, publishing, and events team with headquarters in both Sydney and Los Angeles, they’ve been instrumental in the careers of acts including Flume, Chet Faker, SOPHIE, G Flip, Flight Facilities, Hayden James, Sycco, Wafia, Ta-ku, and more.

They’ve released hundreds of records, amassed billions of streams, and earned multiple ARIA and Grammy Awards, all while remaining Australian-owned and independently run.

The one-night-only show will bring together some of the label’s most beloved artists for an unforgettable birthday celebration.
