A Day To Remember & Papa Roach – Big Rock Tour 2026

10 April 2026 | Qudos Bank Arena, Sydney Olympic Park

Loud, fast and built for a Friday night.

Some line-ups do not need much explaining. A Day To Remember and Papa Roach on the same bill is one of them. One band brings the pop-punk hooks, breakdowns and chaos that have made songs like The Downfall of Us All and All I Want live staples. The other brings three decades of hard rock weight, led by tracks like Last Resort, Scars and Getting Away With Murder that still hit just as hard in a packed arena. With LANDMVRKS opening the night, Qudos Bank Arena is set for a show that leans all the way into volume, energy and a crowd that came ready for it.

Why stay at Crowne Plaza Sydney Airport

This is the kind of night that starts well before the first set. You want time to check in, get organised, grab a drink, eat properly and head out without feeling rushed. Then once it is over, the last thing anyone feels like doing is dragging the night out with a long trip home.

Crowne Plaza Sydney Airport makes that whole plan easier. With 252 refurbished rooms, Biggles Bar & Grill, Sirocco for breakfast, 24-hour in-room dining, and a gym and sauna on site, it gives you somewhere comfortable to start the evening and somewhere easy to come back to once the show is done. If you are looking for accommodation with easy access to Qudos Bank Arena for the Big Rock Tour, it is a smart option that makes the whole night easier

How to get to Qudos Bank Arena

  • By train: Head to Mascot Station, travel toward Lidcombe, then change for the Olympic Park service. Olympic Park Station is the closest station for Qudos Bank Arena, and the walk to the venue is short and signposted. Allow around 45 to 55 minutes, depending on connection times.
  • By rideshare or taxi: Pick-up is available from the hotel entrance. The trip to Qudos Bank Arena usually takes around 20 to 30 minutes, depending on traffic and event-night conditions.
  • Driving and parking: Parking is available within Sydney Olympic Park, but event-night demand is high and delays are common around the precinct. Public transport is usually the easier option for major arena shows.
    Stay close to the noise

If this is your kind of Friday night, Crowne Plaza Sydney Airport gives it a better finish. Close enough to get there easily, comfortable enough to come back to properly, and set up for the parts of the night that happen before and after the arena.
