Posted Thursday 09 July,2026
Sydney’s biggest single-day free music festival is back this weekend. On Sunday, 12 July 2026, the legendary King Street Crawl will see tens of thousands of music lovers swarm the Inner West as more than 250 artists take over 45+ venues across Newtown, Enmore, and Erskineville.
While the massive festival footprint offers a choose-your-own-adventure of live music, one of the day’s most anticipated activations is happening at the spiritual home of Inner West rock ‘n’ roll and burgers: Mary’s Newtown.
Known for drawing lines that wrap around the block during previous Crawls, Mary’s is upping the ante this year with a massive multi-genre live music lineup alongside a one-day-only fashion and culture collaboration.
The Main Event: Mary’s x Something Very Special Pop-Up
For one day only, Mary’s has teamed up with premium streetwear label Something Very Special for an exclusive in-house pop-up. Merging the raw energy of the Inner West music scene with local subculture fashion, the activation will showcase a limited-edition Mary’s x Something Very Special capsule collection alongside the brand’s highly sought-after core range.
If you want to secure a piece of the collaboration, you’ll want to get in early. To celebrate the launch, the first 10 customers who spend $150 or more at the pop-up will instantly score a $50 Mary’s food and drink voucher to burn on burgers and beers throughout the afternoon.
Live Music Lineup: From Heavy Riffs to Electronic Beats
Mary’s has curated a relentless, non-stop schedule of live acts kicking off from 2:00pm. Headlined by Adelaide punk-rock powerhouses West Thebarton and a late-night set from the enigmatic Secret World, the stage will showcase everything from local heavy hitters to interstate imports.

2:00pm – Ultra
3:00pm – LIOTTA Rail

Pro-Tip for Punters: As a completely free, community-led festival, venues operating under standard capacity limits are strictly “first in, best dressed.” Given the massive drawcards at Mary’s this Sunday, arriving well ahead of your favorite act’s set time is highly recommended if you want to get past the door.
