Shia LaBeouf to bring his wacky performance art to Australia as part of a two-day festival dedicated to pop culture... but star stays mum about what he's going to do

He is known for his wacky antics - from wearing a paper bag over his head to watching all of his movies at once back to back.

And now Shia LaBeouf will bring his unique brand of performance art to Australia as part of Bingefest, a new two-day festival celebrating pop culture.

The work, which is yet to be announced, will be created with artists Nastja Säde Rönkkö and Luke Turner, who were also involved in the communal three-day screening of all of Shia's movies.

Bingefest, which will take place at the Sydney Opera House, will also celebrate culture curated and grown on the internet over the last few years. 

'The Opera House is about exploring and reflecting the culture around us as its morphs and evolves,' Bingefest founder and curator, Danielle Harvey, said of the inspiration for the new festival.

'Television, podcasts, gaming and the internet at large create an artistic frame through which we view the world. 

'BINGEFEST is the culmination of all of these wonderful moments.

'We cannot wait to explore binge culture at the Sydney Opera House in the all-encompassing, immersive environment that only a festival can create.'
