How Do I Get To Rod Laver Arena?

Lily’s Melbourne shows are happening at Rod Laver Arena in Melbourne Park, with entry gates spread across Garden Square and Olympic Boulevard. Check your ticket before joining a queue—your entrance will depend on where you’re watching from.

Public transport is the venue’s recommended option. Plan your journey ahead of time and check for disruptions before leaving, allowing a little breathing room for the trip.

Driving instead? Parking is available at Eastern Plaza Car Park, via Entrance D on Olympic Boulevard. Pre-booking is strongly recommended, with drive-up spaces subject to availability. Bookings close at midnight the night before your show, so sort it before you get distracted planning your outfit.

Accessible parking must also be booked in advance. Head to your event page on AXS and select Accessible Parking under Available Offers. If you booked accessible parking through Ticketek before 22 August, your booking remains valid.

What Time Should I Arrive?

Give yourself time to get through the gates, find your seat and make any essential merch decisions. The venue currently lists the following running times for both nights:

• 6pm: General public gates open
• 8pm: Show starts
• 10.10pm: Event concludes

These timings are approximate and subject to change. The published 8pm start is the show start, rather than a separately confirmed Lily stage time, so check the venue’s latest information before heading out.

Your entrance depends on your ticket:

• General admission: Gate 3, via Garden Square
• Reserved seating and suites: Gate 4, via Olympic Boulevard
• VIP: Gate 5, via Olympic Boulevard

If you’ve purchased a VIP package, keep an eye on your inbox for instructions from the promoter.

The Set List: What To Expect

Your listening homework is straightforward: put West End Girl on, start to finish.

Lily will perform her fifth studio album in its entirety, making its 14-song narrative the centre of the show. Drawing on her move to New York and blending fact with fiction, the record turns intimate upheaval into the kind of storytelling you want to discuss immediately after listening.

That full-album format is the confirmed promise here. A complete running order, including any additional songs or encore, hasn’t been supplied in the event information, so we wouldn’t bank on a greatest-hits finish just yet.

For now, learn the words, assemble your debrief crew and leave some time after the show. There’s going to be plenty to unpack.
