This January, a corner of Hyde Park is again transformed into a musical and theatrical playground for all of Sydney to enjoy.

Escape the traffic and hustle of the city and join us in the Samsung Mobile Festival Garden for the risqué humour of La Clique, making its welcome return to The Famous Spiegeltent. Early in the evening there is a fantastic line-up of music and later you can experience the craziness of late night at the Spiegel.

During the day, stimulate the mind with our free forums, Eat Drink Talk Art, where festival guests talk about their work and inspiration. Kids in the Garden gives kids and families the chance to meet artists and learn some of the tricks of the trade.

2009 sees the introduction of the gorgeous Bosco Theater. This tiny space will host a couple of intimate shows and a series of secret performances - the Samsung Mobile Secret Shows.

Every day during Sydney Festival, you can be among the first to know who is playing at Samsung Mobile Secret Shows. To register for daily Samsung SMS alerts during the Festival, click here.

From 5pm, the Samsung Mobile Festival Garden is an over 18s venue.
