Quick answer

The best place to stay for Kings of Leon at Flemington is the western CBD near Southern Cross Station, the city’s main departure point for Flemington. Our top pick is the three-bedroom penthouse at Citypoint Tower on Bourke Street. Book early: the show falls on the Labour Day long weekend, when Moomba is on and Bon Jovi plays Marvel Stadium the night before.

Getting to Flemington Racecourse

  • Train: Flemington Racecourse station is right at the course and is used for major events; services generally run from the city via Southern Cross — check PTV for event-day timetables closer to the date
  • Tram: route 57 runs from Elizabeth Street along Racecourse Road towards Flemington, a short walk from the course
  • Rideshare and taxi: expect queues and surge pricing after the show; a CBD base keeps the trip short
  • Metro Tunnel: State Library and Town Hall stations (opened 30 November 2025) make it easy to reach the CBD from the south-east and north-west before connecting to Flemington services
  • Driving: parking at Flemington is limited on concert days, so leave the car at your apartment

Which area should you stay in?

Western CBD near Southern Cross

The best base for Flemington: the station for event trains is on your doorstep, and you can be back in the city soon after the last song.

Docklands

A few minutes further out, with bigger penthouses for groups and waterfront restaurants for dinner before the show.

Southbank

Great views and pools; allow extra time to get to Southern Cross or Flinders Street on event day.

Booking tips for Kings of Leon weekend

  • The show is on the Friday of the Labour Day long weekend (Monday 8 March 2027 is the public holiday), so weekend demand is high
  • Moomba Festival runs 4–8 March along the Yarra and Bon Jovi play Marvel Stadium on Thursday 4 March — the CBD will be busy all weekend
  • Many apartments set a two- or three-night minimum over long weekends; booking Friday to Monday is often the simplest option
  • Groups usually save per person in a two- or three-bedroom apartment compared with separate hotel rooms
