Toyota named presenting partner of ‘Night At’ concert series as it expands nationally
Toyota Australia has joined as presenting partner of the 2025 ‘Night At’ concert series, which is expanding from Sydney to Brisbane and Hobart.
The announcement:
One of the country’s most beloved live music experiences, Night at The Barracks, returns to Sydney’s spectacular North Head Sanctuary in 2025 for its highly anticipated fourth season — and with it comes the announcement of Toyota Australia as presenting partner of the expanding ‘Night At’ concert series.
Award-winning event producers Second Sunday will take the acclaimed open-air concert format beyond Sydney for the first time, launching Night at the Parkland in Brisbane (in partnership with Brisbane Festival) and Night at the Point at spectacular Wrest Point in Hobart later in the year.
With its unique blend of incredible live performances, stunning outdoor settings, premium hospitality and a firm stance on sustainability, the ‘Night At’ series continues to attract national brands seeking cultural credibility and meaningful audience engagement.
“We are incredibly excited to welcome Toyota as our Presenting Partner,” said Greg Tremain, founder at Partnership Solutions. “This partnership reflects a growing shift in the market where brands are investing in experiences which align with consumer passions and values. Sustainability, community, and a nostalgic, emotional connection through music — that’s exactly what the ‘Night At’ series delivers.”
Toyota Australia’s chief marketing officer, Vin Naidoo, said Toyota is thrilled to come on board as the presenting partner of this incredible concert series.
“We’re proud to celebrate iconic Australian music in some of the country’s most stunning locations. It’s a unique opportunity for Toyota to connect with fans who share our love for performance, adventure and unforgettable experiences.”
A model for sustainable entertainment
Night at the Barracks has redefined what live music experiences can look like — delivering sell-out performances whilst delivering on a clear commitment to environmental sustainability.
Producer Second Sunday is striving to position the Night At series as a blueprint for the delivery of sustainable live events. Initiatives include 100% renewable power offsets, encouragement to adopt sustainable transport options, use of electric vehicles wherever possible, reusable aluminium drinkware, refillable water stations, compostable packaging, low-waste logistics and more with the events carbon emissions being tracked via environmental impact consultancy Clima.
“Our mission is to show that large-scale events can lead the way on sustainability,” said Cameron Coghlan, Co-Founder of Second Sunday. “It’s not just about what we reduce — it’s about inspiring fans and the wider industry to rethink what’s possible.”
Returning for a third consecutive year, ENGIE is once again confirmed as Official Energy Partner, and will offset 100% of the events’ power usage across all locations using renewable energy from wind and solar sources.
“Partnering with events like Night at the Barracks and the expanded ‘Night At’ Series allows us to bring our vision of a carbon-neutral future to life in powerful and inspiring ways,” said Nathan Epp, Head of B2B at ENGIE Australia & New Zealand. “We’re proud to be the official energy partner for a third year running and to help the team demonstrate to the industry that a future of carbon neutral live events is possible.”
Night at the Barracks has also secured the support of Northern Beaches Council, further strengthening its connection to the local community. The event has also partnered with Australian-owned beverage brands Vodka Soda &, Tempus Two Wines and Felons Beer Company to deliver a premium drinks experience for guests across the season.
National expansion & stellar line-up
After three triumphant years in Manly, the series expands into Brisbane and Hobart in 2025. In Queensland, Night at the Parkland will debut at Roma Street Parkland, supported by Brisbane Festival.
“Brisbane deserves world-class music experiences in extraordinary settings,” said Brisbane Festival artistic director Louise Bezzina. “Night at the Parkland delivers just that — seven unforgettable nights under the stars.”
Plus for the first time, Hobart will experience this incredible series with the introduction of Night at the Point which will take place at Wrest Point against a stunning backdrop of the River Derwent and Mount Wellington.
“We’re absolutely thrilled to take the magic beyond Manly,” said Coghlan. “It’s all about matching iconic locations with iconic artists — and creating a premium experience that audiences and brands will never forget.”
Audiences can expect a showstopping, all-Australian line-up across the three cities, with artists including ICEHOUSE, Missy Higgins, Grinspoon, Amy Shark, Kate Ceberano, Hoodoo Gurus, Lime Cordiale, Cut Copy, Delta Goodrem, Pnau and more.
Brendan Maher, Second Sunday co-founder, added: “This year’s line-up showcases the incredible depth of talent in Australia. From legendary headliners to emerging support acts, we’re celebrating the best this country has to offer.”
