Vivid Sydney Turns Morning Commute Into A Dance Party With Tekno Train

Cool Sh*t, Sydney / 21 May 2024

All aboard the dance floor!

Vivid Sydney is synonymous with transforming the city into a dazzling spectacle of light and art installations. This year, the festival pushes the boundaries of creativity yet again with Tekno Train by Paul Mac. Forget your standard train commute; Tekno Train promises a sensory adventure unlike any other. As you embark on this 60-minute journey, prepare to be enveloped by a custom-designed light show and an original techno soundtrack composed by the legendary Australian musician himself, Paul Mac.

The magic isn’t just about the final destination – it’s woven into the very fabric of the ride. The lights and music adapt to the train’s speed and the ever-changing cityscape outside your window. You’ll be rumbling through tunnels bathed in an ever-shifting kaleidoscope of colours, or gliding over the Sydney Harbour Bridge with the city lights shimmering beneath you, all perfectly synchronised to the pulsating techno beats. It’s an immersive experience that promises to awaken your senses and leave you wanting more.

Tekno Train caters to different preferences with two distinct routes. The Scenic Route provides a more relaxed adventure, ideal for families with young children. This above-ground journey offers stunning panoramic views as it traverses the Sydney Harbour Bridge and winds its way down to Lavender Bay. Parents can rest assured that the techno music on this route maintains a more moderate tempo, allowing youngsters to enjoy the light show without feeling overwhelmed.

For those seeking a more energetic adventure, the Tech Express pulsates with a faster tempo and a livelier techno beat. This underground route delves into the heart of the city, offering a thrilling sensory journey. As the train hurtles through the darkness, the synchronised lights create a dynamic atmosphere, perfectly complementing the driving techno soundtrack. It’s an experience designed to get your heart racing and your feet tapping.

Beyond the spectacle, Tekno Train embodies the spirit of Vivid Sydney 2024’s theme – “Humanity.” This innovative project celebrates the power of music to connect us, transforming a routine experience into a shared moment of joy. It’s a reminder to find wonder in the everyday and to see the familiar in a whole new light (and sound!).

Tekno Train runs every night of the festival, from Friday, May 24th to Saturday, June 15th. Tickets start at a budget-friendly $13.90 for children and $19.90 for adults, with family pricing available to make it an affordable option for everyone.
