The iconic Opera House will serve as the picturesque location for Australia Day celebrations in 2015.
To amp up the atmosphere, two free concerts will be held on January 26 with approximately 7,000 free tickets available to the public via ballot.
Popular children's group The Wiggles will be one of the main acts on the festive day, with another concert consisting of favourite Aussie performers, including Jessica, Justice Crew and Geronimo hit makers, Sheppard.
Actress Jessica has already performed at the Opera House and has fond memories of the venue.
'It was of course where the Australian Idol Grand Final took place in November 2006 and it was on the steps of the Sydney Opera House that I performed my first Number One single Burn,' the former reality TV star recalled.
'To be invited back to this amazing Australian landmark to perform is a wonderful opportunity.'
Justice Crew also have an interesting link with the location, having previously busked outside the famed structure.
'One of our first career highlights was to actually be invited to perform at the Sydney Opera House as Janet Jackson’s opening act,' the group revealed.
'To be at the Sydney Opera House on Australia Day is a real magic moment and we will rise to the occasion with our performance!
Jessica is no stranger to public performances, having recently put on an energetic show at the ARIA music awards last month.
Putting her powerful voice to good use, the musician took to the stage in a strapless blue jumpsuit covered in sequins.
She performed her latest hit Can I Get a Moment, which has achieved gold sales in just over a month.
Despite her star status, Ms Mauboy failed to take out any awards after being nominated for Album of the Year, Best Female Artist and Best Video.
Although she didn't walk away with a trophy this year, Jessica took out Best Female Artist last year and Highest Selling Single for Running Back in 2009.
