Sidney Myer Music Bowl

Tucked within the lush surrounds of Kings Domain and just a 10-minute drive from Pullman & Mercure Melbourne Albert Park, the Sidney Myer Music Bowl is one of Melbourne’s most cherished outdoor music venues. Since opening in 1959, the Bowl has hosted legendary performances, from classical orchestras to rock bands, pop stars, and community festivals.

With a capacity of up to 10,000 people across seated and lawn areas, the venue is beloved for its relaxed, open-air atmosphere and stunning natural setting. It’s the long-time summer home of the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra (MSO) and a frequent host of Carols by Candlelight, outdoor film nights, and major music festivals. Artists like Elton John, Bon Iver, Florence + The Machine, and Lorde have all performed under its iconic, sweeping canopy.

Visitors are welcome to bring blankets and picnics, adding to the laid-back, quintessentially Melburnian concert experience. The Bowl is also a short walk from the Royal Botanic Gardens, making it a lovely day or evening out for those exploring the Domain Precinct.

Guests staying at Pullman & Mercure Melbourne Albert Park can enjoy an unforgettable music experience at the Sidney Myer Music Bowl — where world-class sound meets the beauty of nature.
