OAF 20TH BIRTHDAY CELEBRATIONS :: All Roads Lead to OAF NSW Showcase

OXFORD ART FACTORY TURNS 20!

On 16 and 17 April 2027, we're celebrating 20 years of Oxford Art Factory with two FREE nights of live music, bringing together artists, communities and sounds that have shaped our story.

Since first opening its doors on Oxford Street in September 2007, OAF has been more than just a live music venue. Inspired by Andy Warhol's legendary Factory in New York, it was built as a creative playground for independent culture, bringing together live music, visual art and performance, with a commitment to giving emerging artists a stage of their own. And 20 years on, that same DIY ethos and genre-fluid spirit continues to pulse at the heart of OAF.

Over the years, OAF has become a home for underground bands, independent promoters and music lovers, a launchpad for the next generation of Australian artists and a meeting place for creative communities from all walks of life. From first gigs to international names, it's been 20 years of doing things a little differently.

Now, it's time to bring it all together over one massive birthday weekend…

Friday 16 April: ‘All Roads Lead to OAF’ NSW Showcase, celebrating the incredible talent coming out of NSW. Supported by the NSW Government through the Local Audience Development Grants program.

Saturday 17 April: Nationwide Artists Showcase, bringing together artists from across Australia.

20 years in, and we're just getting started. Come celebrate with us.

Lineups to be announced. RSVP’s essential and now open!
