Qudos Bank Arena, Australia’s largest and most diverse indoor Arena, will host an extravaganza of events in the first quarter of 2025 as some of the biggest stars in entertainment make their way to Sydney. 

From the whirlwind of UFC 312 action to a superstar line-up of music icons such as Bryan Adams, Drake, Billie Eilish, Kylie Minogue and Dua Lipa, the events will captivate live entertainment fans and bring thousands of visitors to Sydney. 

Owned by TEG and proudly operated by ASM Global, Qudos Bank Arena celebrated 25 years of bringing live entertainment to NSW late last year and the world-class events keep rolling at the Sydney Olympic Park venue in 2025. 

In the next two months alone, the Arena will host: 

• An epic return of Ultimate Fighting Championship to Australia on 9 February, with UFC 312 featuring Du Plessis v Strickland as the main card among a stunning line-up of UFC bouts; 

• The return of Bryan Adams, one of the best-selling music artists of all time, with his So Happy It Hurts Tour on 12 February; 

• Five-time Grammy-award winning and platinum global artist Drake bringing The Anita Max Win Tour to Sydney on 16-17-19-20 February, plus 7 March; 

• Hugely popular singer-songwriter Billie Eilish with her Hit Me Hard and Soft: The Tour unfolding before the release of her third studio album in May. Billie’s tour dates are 24, 25, 27 and 28 February; 

• Australia’s own international music icon Kylie Minogue will bring her Tensions Tour to Sydney from 1-3 March – Kylie’s biggest Tour in 14 years; 

• Country music superstar Chris Stapleton with his All American Road Show on 4-5 March; 

• Global pop powerhouse Dua Lipa with her Radical Optimisation Tour on 26-28-29 March.

Additionally, the Sydney Kings will continue their charge toward the NBL Finals, with the mighty Kings chasing a third NBL championship in four seasons.  

Qudos Bank Arena General Manager Steve Hevern said: “We expect to welcome close to 1 million fans at our events in 2025 and are thrilled to be presenting such a diverse line-up of events. The first three months alone will feature a galaxy of international sporting stars and musicians that will be a welcome addition to Sydney’s vibrant live entertainment and provide special moments for so many people.” 

The smorgasbord of sport and entertainment action at the Arena – in tandem with a host of other events across Greater Sydney – will provide a boon for the State’s visitor economy. Fans travelling to Sydney for the events are encouraged to book their accommodation early.
