Rod Laver Arena

Amazing! I am so glad I went. I knew it would be a great night. Thank you so much Crowded House for putting on such a great performance. It was like listening to a live CD, Neil Finn has written some of the most beautiful and memorable songs, his voice is just amazing. Nick Seymour is fabulous too. Neil’s sons are incredibly talented, clearly the musical talent runs in the family. Thanks again Crowded House. Enjoy the rest of your tour.

The band completely saved my life, and seeing them live was like a full circle moment. I will never ever forget the tears of happiness as I listened to the band I used to cry to. No words can explain how much I love BMTH, and seeing them live and at such an amazing level made me love them more.

The event run smoothly and on time, supporting acts and main artist were good and engaging, but for Dean Lewis, the drums were set A LOT louder than everything else and drained his voice and the other instruments. It took away from the experience quite a lot. There was a violinist in the show that you couldn't hear AT ALL, she literally could have been "fake playing" and would have been the same. The reverberation of every drum hit was felt in the throat and chest in an unpleasant way (and this is coming from someone who loves a deep bass!) and you simply couldn't enjoy the songs. The best and most enjoyable one was an acoustic song just with piano and violin for this reason. I would understand this setting for another type of artist (say Red Hot Chili Peppers), but not for someone like Dean Lewis. I think this is an easy to fix tech issue. Backstreet Boys sounded incredible at Rod Laver, for example.

Kip Moore was absolutely awesome. His interaction with the crowd was amazing. His choice of songs were just right. The way he got all his support artists up on stage together was awesome. Also the way he thanked them was fantastic. Holding the Australian flag at the end was great. Would go to a million more of Kip Moore shows. Felt like part of the executive crew who were invited along for the night. Awesome job again Kip Moore- regards, Julie Jenner

Absence of security! I saw two flare ups in the stands, one of them a couple of seats away from me, where a big bloke was yelling and swearing and pointing at a young woman couple of cms away from her face. I was convinced he was going to hit her! A few rows further down, again a man was swearing and had to be held back from aggressively approaching an older woman!

Awesome stage and light show, great to sing along with the old maiden chants, the guitar work was brilliant, everything was on point. Definitely would see them again. There was no Eddie, but a tall alien dude came out on ‘somewhere in time’ and a cowboy type small Eddie on another song. Maiden are one of the most professional, eliciting bands out there, still going strong and rocking out like a beast

Best concert I’ve been to, he interacted with the crowd he was funny cute and I love all his music plus birdy being the supporting act was an amazing bonus hearing skinny love live was a childhood dream of mine. Sad I didn’t hear science tho. But I loved the whole thing and the people on floor with us were just amazing

One of the best nights of my life. Niall was entertaining, He engaged with the crowd and through some melbourne references making us feel special. And caring as he briefly stopped the show to call for help as a group of people were shouting for help so good on him. Birdy opened for Niall, she was beautiful. Thank you Niall and Birdy.

This was an amazing show. Loved every minute. It was the first time I was ever up at the front of the stage. Loved the Goo Goo Dolls. They were amazing too. Definitely going to see Matchbox 20 again. I don't care where it is. I am going to travel anywhere to see them. I hope the GOO GOO Dolls come back to Australia and do a concert tour. I only wish I could have got a meet and greet. I was waiting for 20mins before I could get on to get a ticket, very disappointed. I just hope that I get my VIP package in the mail. It would have been good to get this on the night.

First time seeing Matchbox Twenty, I have been a fan for a long time. It was an absolutely phenomenal experience and performance from the boys. High energy, the emotional connection between them and us (the fans) is so heartfelt and you can feel it. Thank you for such an unforgettable experience. All your friends and my friends were definitely there Friday night xxoo

After years of waiting, I was finally lucky enough to see Paramore live! They had the best energy with the crowd and they sounded amazing! The mixture of new and old songs was great, with just the right amount of each being played. I couldn’t have asked for a better show! Not to mention, Remi Wolf was a great opener. She had the most strong, powerful voice. Thank you Paramore for an amazing night! Come back soon!

You are seriously my one and only favourite Band and I feel honoured to have had the privilege to watch you play live once again in our Beautiful Melbourne. Amy Lee, that voice is insane and sends shivers through me every time I love you guys so much, thank you for giving me such an amazing memory to treasure for ever! ❤️❤️❤️

My first ever Backstreet Boys concert! Got the best tickets in the DNA circle. Best concert ever! Heard most of my all time favourites. After 30 years their energy and performance is just incredible. They sang over 30 songs in 2 hours while constantly dancing and moving throughout. Long live the Backstreet Boys. Here's to years of more music and concerts!

Jimmy Eat World was fantastic!!! To see such an iconic band live was such a dream come true! Their energy with the crowd was amazing and I could not have asked for a better show! The moments that I shared with those around me, and the memories that were created of the band living up to their reputation can never be replaced! Thank you for an awesome night!

Crowded House were brilliant as always. They are the best band to see live. Love the way they interact with the crowd. Rod Laver Arena on the other hand was a huge fail. They sent at least three information emails before hand and that would have been good however all of them gave the start time as 8.50. At 8.20 the announcement came over that the concert was about to start. There was a mad scramble and people were pushing and shoving at the door. We missed most of the first song. At 8.50 loads of people started coming in so obviously they had been misled too. Really poor communication here

Fabulous night! Both the supporting acts were great. Love AB Original and having Phil Jamieson join them on stage was good enough but then Paul Kelly too! Bucket List moment :) Then the Hoods took the stage and it was just a fabulous mix of all their best songs. High energy performance, breath taking light show and effects and great crowd interaction. Loved every minute of the show. The encore of Rattling Keys was a highlight but bringing Elsey Wamayo and AB Original out for the final song was the ultimate ending. Love the Hoods

Absolutely brilliant show. Thank you Jimmy Barnes. The energy, the play list, the support acts, there were no faults with this show. The venue was perfect and a good range of merchandise (although I missed out on a coffee mug). I look forward to attending the next concert. Thank you once again.

I was 21 when soul deep came out. After previous cold chisel and jimmy Barnes music I have to admit it wasn’t my favourite album that came out ( still purchased it though because I had every other ) When tickets went on sale I knew I was going anyway as I haven’t missed a concert. Saturday night has given me a whole new love for this music. You never disappoint jimmy!

Wow what an amazing performance by Amy Shark. I didn’t think it was possible but she has become an even more awesome singer and her stage presence is awe inspiring. She sang songs from her new album but didn’t forget about her older songs. The way she interacted with the crowd was first class. I can’t wait for her to come back again.

Alice is the consummate performer. He continues to knock out a tight, well-orchestrated set of high energy rock and theatre. The musicianship of his band is beyond reproach, with ‘Hurricane’ Nita Straus holding her own against some very accomplished competition. A great night of entertainment that was further enhanced by a guest appearance from Joel O’Keefe from Airbourne for the encore.
