The Sydney Fringe Festival has revealed the line-up for its launch party FRINGE IGNITE, supported by APRA AMCOS and the Kensington Street Precinct. They will celebrate the opening of the Festival on Saturday 2 September with a series of live music gigs and performances from 4pm until 8pm at Kensington St Chippendale.

Curated by one of Australia’s most dynamic vocalists NGAIIRE, FRINGE IGNITE will see performances scheduled across the day in shops, bars and restaurants along the street, converting them into free pop-up venues filled with live music and performances, set times to be announced late August.

FRINGE IGNITE invites audiences down to Kensington St from 12pm for food, drinks, live performances and an In Conversation with Ngaiire presented by APRA AMCOS from 2pm – 4pm. The official program then kicks off at 4pm across nine stages, featuring dynamic performances from Australian acts including synth pop trio Froyo, Kaiit, Billie McCarthy, WALLACE, spoken word by L-FRESH The LION plus many more. At sunset, audiences will be treated to digital animations and projections courtesy of UTS.
