Jumping on board as one of the must-see artists on the 2025 Laneway lineup alongside Charli XCX, Bicep, Clairo, and other heavyweights in the music scene, Barry Can’t Swim has just announced an intimate open-air DJ set in Sydney at the Liberty Hall Courts.

 Kicking off at 5:30 PM on Wednesday, February 12, this is your chance to unwind, blow off some midweek steam, and be part of what could very well be Sydney’s must-attend event of the year.

 Riding high off the release of his debut album When Will We Land?, Barry has firmly established himself as one of the most in-demand names in dance and electronic music today. A star in the Bonobo vein, his melodic, string-laced euphoria has captured listeners worldwide, driven by the peak-time energy and easygoing groove he delivers on stage time and time again. Don’t believe us? Revisit his Boiler Room from 2023—you’ll pick up what we’re putting down.

 As far as crossover success in electronic music goes, Barry Can’t Swim’s 2024 could be considered a career-defining year.

 Nominated for a Mercury Prize? Check. Topping the Warehouse Project as a DJ and selling out multiple nights at Brixton Academy? Check. Blowing up Glastonbury with a set so packed it signalled the arrival of the next big thing? Check.

 Joining Barry on the night is none other than SHEE, a DJ, producer, and promoter from Killarney, Ireland, who’s been making waves in the electronic scene for over a decade. With his emotive, progressive dancefloor cuts—raised on classic French house, disco, and a pint of Guinness—SHEE has cultivated a unique and infectious style, making him the perfect addition to this lineup.

 Don’t miss out on Sydney’s best-kept secret. Shake off the weekday grind and dive into the world of Barry Can’t Swim at the Liberty Hall Courts.
