Thanks to the nice people at Singapore-based Scoot – Asia’s newest low cost, long haul airline – we’re going to be able to experience the wonders of Australia’s Sydney city as it’s lit up with brilliant electric light for the Vivid Sydney art festival.
A combination of light installations, live performances and creative seminars and talks, Vivid Sydney runs until June 11; and now that Scoot is officially flying to Sydney for super affordable prices you can drop down to get a slice of the action.

The astonishing work from German design collective URBANSCREEN will be lighting up the sails of the Sydney Opera House every night – check out the picture above – and the live performances will include rising star Janelle Monae and the Archandroid Orchestra on stage for Vivid Live, backlit with hundreds of illuminated skyscrapers, installations and projections like the awesome one pictured below on the actual water of Sydney harbour.
On top of this there are over 100 other creative events tied into Vivid Sydney including something described as “3D digital mapping projections across iconic buildings expressing visual impressions of the six seasons of the Indigenous calendar” as a reference to Australia’s original inhabitants.
Just two of the amazing light installations that will be on show during Vivid Sydney.

Stay tuned for our on-the-spot updates of our trip on Scoot’s first aircraft – also known as Goin’ Scootin’ … yes, really – and the fun stuff being organised for us once we get to Sydney.
