Allianz Stadium
A world-class stadium in the heart of Sydney hosts the biggest stars in music, entertainment and sport
This otherwise secluded parkland hides a thriving culture of day markets, late-night gigs and sporting events. Sure, it tends to be dismissed as ‘that place where Fox Studios is located and Mardi Gras happens’, but this is where you’ll also find the Sydney Cricket Ground and Sydney Football Stadium, the Australian Film Television and Radio School and, of course, the shops and theatres of the Entertainment Quarter. Music fiends can be found at shows inside Max Watt's or Hordern Pavilion, a warehouse venue that draws everything from retro acts to Triple J darlings and international pop stars. The EQ is popular with families who head here for the Sydney Royal Show or casual weekend outings – there’s a line-up of holiday activities that change monthly.
