Which area should you stay in?

CBD east end

The closest option. You can walk to the show, walk home and have dinner in Flinders Lane or Chinatown beforehand.

Southbank

High-floor views and resident pools, about 20–25 minutes on foot. Good for families travelling to an all-ages show.

Richmond

A short train or tram ride, with lively pubs on Swan Street and Bridge Road for a post-gig drink.

Docklands and western CBD

Further away but handy for Southern Cross if you are arriving by regional train or SkyBus.

Booking tips for Powderfinger week

  • Book as soon as you have tickets: the Saturday shows (23 and 30 October, 6 November) will push weekend prices up first
  • The Monday 1 November show is the night before the Melbourne Cup, the city’s busiest accommodation night of spring — book that date early
  • Rugby World Cup 2027 is being played across Australia in October and November, with Marvel Stadium among the host venues, adding to demand
  • Groups of four to six usually pay less per person in a two- or three-bedroom apartment than in separate hotel rooms
  • Choose a flexible rate in case extra shows change your plans
