Avenged Sevenfold 2026

A huge night of riffs, volume and heavy-hitting live energy lands at Qudos Bank Arena

Avenged Sevenfold come to Qudos Bank Arena on Friday 16 October 2026, joined by Coheed and Cambria and Thornhill for a line-up that leans hard into big live sound and serious stage presence. With millions of albums sold, multiple No. 1 records and a reputation for arena-scale live shows, Avenged Sevenfold have long been one of the biggest names in modern heavy music. Add Coheed and Cambria’s cult following and Thornhill’s rising force as one of Australia’s strongest heavy exports, and this shapes as one of the biggest rock shows on Sydney’s 2026 calendar.

A heavier night out calls for a stay that keeps up

For guests heading to Qudos Bank Arena, Crowne Plaza Sydney Macquarie Park accommodation offers a practical base that works well around a show like this. The location keeps guests within easy reach of Sydney Olympic Park, while giving them somewhere more comfortable to come back to once the arena clears out.

Before the show, Bistro Sydney gives guests an easy option for dinner or drinks without adding another stop to the night. After hours on your feet, loud sets and a big crowd, coming back to comfortable and affordable accommodation can be a far better option than pushing straight into the trip home. For guests staying on, the fitness centre is there the next morning, and in-room dining is available in the evening for something easy before the gig.

Turn the gig into a proper Sydney stay

This is not the kind of line-up most fans will want to treat as a quick in and out. Crowne Plaza Sydney Macquarie Park makes the night easier to plan from the start, with dining before the show, comfortable accommodation afterwards, and a location that works well for Qudos Bank Arena without leaving guests in the middle of the post-show rush.
