Festival Hall

Festival Hall is a live music and entertainment venue that has been around since 1956, when it was known as The Stadium and used for the Olympics that year.

Renamed Festival Hall in the early 1960s, the venue has since hosted major acts including the Beatles, Johnny Cash, Frank Sinatra, Liberace, Justin Timberlake, The Foo Fighters and Oasis.

Festival Hall has also been affectionally referred to as the 'House of Stoush', with some of the greatest names in boxing fighting there, along with the stars of wrestling and roller derby.

Festival Hall’s eclectic events calendar has also included ballroom dancing, cultural and religious gatherings, and the first indoor tennis exhibition featuring John McEnroe.
