5 Seconds of Summer – Everyone’s A Star! 2026

5 Seconds of Summer bring the Everyone’s A Star! World Tour to Afterpay Arena, formerly Qudos Bank Arena, on Friday 30 October 2026. The band formed in Sydney back in 2011, so this show carries a different kind of weight than a standard tour stop, a hometown crowd for a group that built its following from local beginnings into a global act with more than 18 million albums sold.

A homecoming show like this tends to draw a big, loud crowd early. Crowne Plaza Sydney Macquarie Park gives guests a straightforward base for the night, a short trip from Sydney Olympic Park either way.

Getting to Afterpay Arena from Macquarie Park

Taxi or rideshare: Afterpay Arena is approximately 13 kilometres from the hotel, generally 12 to 15 minutes by car in normal traffic.

Public transport: Macquarie Park Metro Station is a 2 minute walk from the hotel. Take the Metro to Epping, then connect to Sydney Trains for Sydney Olympic Park, a trip of around 25 to 35 minutes.

Staying at Crowne Plaza Sydney Macquarie Park for 5 Seconds of Summer

For friends catching the show together, the Standard 2 Double Room gives everyone a comfortable base without needing separate bookings, and dinner at Bistro Sydney is an easy way to start the night before heading out.

Coming back to Macquarie Park once the arena empties out means skipping the rush of a hometown crowd all trying to leave Sydney Olympic Park at once. Breakfast at Bistro Sydney the next morning is served buffet or a la carte.
