Parkway Drive Set to Premiere Film on Opera House’s Most Unforgettable Show

## Parkway Drive’s Iconic Performance

Parkway Drive delivered a “career-defining” performance at the Sydney Opera House last month, marking one of the standout events of the year. For those who missed out, there’s good news.

## Insights from McCall

Ahead of the Australian debut of the band’s upcoming **Park Waves festival**, McCall shared that recording the concert played a pivotal role in securing the historic venue.

“We aimed to create a reconceptualization of Parkway Drive in a space that embodies what it means to be Australian,” he explained.

## A Unique Experience

The concert was set in a seated, black-tie environment, played on grass, accompanied by a full symphonic orchestra. Guests donned ball gowns and suits, presenting a stark contrast to the typical music festival vibe. “We wanted to make something worthy of the moment,” McCall added.

This was no ordinary show; McCall described it as “literally the loudest performance the Opera House has ever hosted.” With the audience confined to their seats, the atmosphere felt electric. “I was up close and personal with the guests, while Gaz was pounding away in the back with the brass section creating a powerful ambiance.”

## Challenges and Future Plans

The stakes were high, as the performance was set to capture a film and live album simultaneously, leaving little room for error. Parkway Drive managed to rehearse only four hours before showtime. Fortunately, fans can expect to see the final product soon, although a release date has not been announced.

“It’s all with the production company now,” McCall stated. “We’re busy mixing the album and figuring out the best time to release it alongside our other projects.”

## Upcoming Park Waves 2025 Festival
