The late-night marathon that is Sydney in January just got more overwhelming. Sydney Festival has revealed the full line-up for its much-loved party spot the Beck’s Festival Bar. On top of the already announced acts, another injection of international and local talent will crowd your calendar even further.

In addition to her appearances at City Recital Hall, French slow-burner Camille will headline her own Beck’s Bar night.
