Gigs at one of Australia's most famous landmarks are about to get louder, with one noted concert-goer throwing his weight behind the move.
Along with lifting capacity limits at the Sydney Opera House, sound regulation for late-night concerts at the harbour venue's forecourt will be raised to be the same as settings for daytime gigs.
NSW ministers labelled the tweaks as common sense and said sound restrictions would no longer be determined by residents of the 'Toaster' - the nearby luxury apartment building whose residents have regularly complained about noise.
Notably, the Opera House copped a $15,000 fine after residents complained about the volume of a performance from Florence and The Machine in 2015.
Prime Minister Anthony Albanese, who has styled himself as a music lover, said he's seen the English band on the forecourt, along with American rockers The Pixies.
