Battle of the Tech Bands Sydney 2026
Tickets are sold on our website, not through Luma: https://www.battleofthetechbands.com/event/sydney-2026 (registering here does not get you in).
A charity gig for Youngcare. Every dollar raised goes to Youngcare, which creates choice, independence and dignified living options for young people with high physical support needs.
Five bands made up of staff from some of Australia's best known tech companies take over Manning Bar. By day they write code, design products and run teams. On the night they plug in, turn it up and each play a set of covers, competing for the trophy in front of a live crowd and a judging panel.
The line-up: Bandlassian (Atlassian), Canvanauts (Canva), Amakazaam! (Amazon), V2 Voyagers (V2 AI), and Brisbane 2026 champions ShipReX (Rex Software and URBAN X) as special guests.
It's one of the few nights where engineers, product people and founders from across Sydney's tech scene end up in the same room, loud and off the clock. Last year's Sydney show brought about 450 people together.
Doors 6:30pm, finishes 11pm. 18+. Tickets $35, or $25 each for groups of 10 or more, which makes it an easy team night. All proceeds go to Youngcare.
