Harry Connick Junior (Jr.) has been announced to perform during Sydney New Year’s Eve 2023’s Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC) broadcast from the ABC’s concert.
The concert is held at the Sydney Opera House’s Northern Broadwalk & will be broadcast live on the Internet, television & radio from 8:57pm tomorrow AEDT (though the earliest Harry Connick Jr. could perform is actually 9:08pm AEDT due to Calling Country, it is expected he will conclude the concert just before Midnight).
He recently concluded an Australian tour in Melbourne on the 18th of December.
A ballot for tickets to the ABC concert closed just over 3 weeks ago on the 7th of December.
The nearest vantage point to the Concert is the Sydney Opera House, which will have a small portion of the Northern Broadwalk still available for the public to watch the fireworks from just behind the concert’s stage. This area of the Sydney Opera House will be the first to fill up so if you want this location, get there well before the vantage point opens at 7am!
To hear Harry Connick Jr. perform live on radio by the Harbour, tune into ABC Radio Sydney 702AM from 9:08pm until the Midnight Fireworks.
I’m incredibly excited to be taking part in the ABC’s New Year’s Eve broadcast. New Year’s Eve is such a special time of year & it is a great honour to be welcoming in 2024 in Australia. I’m so happy to be performing alongside some of Australia’s greatest talent – whether you’re at the concert in person or watching at home on television, it will be night to remember.
Harry Connick Jr.
Other artists to perform at the concert are Jessica Mauboy, King Stingray, Confidence Man, Genesis Owusu, Angie McMahon, Mark Seymour, GrentPerez, & the NYE queen, Casey Donovan!
The Australian Broadcasting Corporation has also revealed Sway by Micheal Bublé to be one of the songs to be performed at the concert & it will be sung by Grentperez as a tribute to his Micheal Bublé-loving parents.
Also, it seems ABC has axed the former Early Night Show, a kids television show that ran roughly in the first half hour of the Sydney NYE broadcast. It was first aired in 2016 & was never an official part of the event. This year, there will be a Bluey & Bingo Moment at 8:50pm, which is part of the event as well & not just the broadcast like the former Early Night Show was like.
ABC has been contacted for comment. So far, they have just remind us that they will be showing the 9pm Calling Country Fireworks.
