Foo Fighters – Take Cover Tour 2026

Back where it started, only much louder.

5 Seconds of Summer return to Sydney on Friday 30 October 2026 with the EVERYONE’S A STAR! WORLD TOUR, bringing one of Australia’s biggest bands back to the city where it all started. Formed in Sydney in 2011, Luke Hemmings, Michael Clifford, Calum Hood and Ashton Irwin have spent the last fourteen years turning local beginnings into a global run of arena tours, chart records and songs that seem to have followed people through multiple versions of their lives. With the release of EVERYONE’S A STAR!, led by singles including NOT OK, Boyband and Telephone Busy, this Sydney date has a genuine homecoming feel to it.

Why Crowne Plaza Sydney Airport is perfect Qudos Bank Arena events

Some Friday shows feel bigger because of what they mean to the crowd. 5SOS in Sydney is one of those. People will arrive early, meet up beforehand, and carry a fair bit of history into the room with them.

Crowne Plaza Sydney Airport suits that kind of plan. It gives you somewhere to settle in before the night starts moving, whether that means heading to Biggles Bar & Grill for drinks, getting ready without rushing, or knowing that your modern, spacious Sydney room is waiting once the show is done. If the night stretches out, 24-hour room service is there when you get back, and Sirocco keeps the next morning straightforward with breakfast on site. The hotel’s gym and sauna also give you a chance to slow things down again if the concert has turned into a longer Sydney stay.

Getting to Qudos Bank Arena from Crowne Plaza Sydney Airport

• Train: Start from Mascot Station and travel toward Lidcombe, then change for the Olympic Park service. Olympic Park Station is the stop for Qudos Bank Arena, with the venue a few minutes away within the precinct. This is usually the easiest option on major event nights.
• Taxi or rideshare: Cars can pick up from the hotel entrance, and the trip to Qudos Bank Arena will usually take around 20 to 30 minutes, depending on traffic and what time you leave.
• Driving to Sydney Olympic Park: If you are planning to drive, parking is available across Sydney Olympic Park. Checking parking options before you leave is worth doing, especially for a Saturday arena show.

Stay close to the show

A 5SOS Sydney show comes with more than just a ticket. There is usually a bit of memory attached to it too. Crowne Plaza Sydney Airport gives the night somewhere easy to begin, and somewhere calm to come back to once it is all over.
