The battle is back. The beats are bigger. City Sessions brings together the best street dancers from across Australia and Southeast Asia for an epic showcase of street dance culture across two days at Fed Square.

City Sessions is one of Australia’s most anticipated street dance events, where the best of the best show off their moves – and battle it out to live beats.

This year, City Sessions expands internationally through a new collaboration with Bad Vibes Festival in Bangkok, co-curated with Thai creative collective Thrixept.

Winners of City Sessions will receive a guest spot at Bad Vibes Festival in 2026. And you, the audience, get to help decide who makes it through.

Come on the Saturday to catch the preliminary finals in The Edge, then on Sunday the finalists will take to the Fed Square Main Stage for the final showdown.

Presented by Fed Square and Cypher Culture, as part of Open Air at the Square.
