ACER ARENA

Cold Chisel + You Am I - Allphones Arena (10.11.11)

What sells out arenas these days? Too often it's not a rock act let alone an Australian act. But as ten thousand witnesses will attest, Australian rock 'n' roll has a revived pulse in the reunion of Cold Chisel.

Disturbed: Music as a Weapon World Tour - Acer Arena, Sydney (25.04.11)

With songs such as "Asylum", "Ten Thousand Fists" and "Stricken", US Heavy-Metal outfit Disturbed are no stranger to playing large shows. How did the Acer Arena react? Dave Roberts investigates.

Alan Jackson - Acer Arena (7.03.11)

After a career that has spanned well over twenty years, his first visit to Australia in that time received a sold-out welcoming from every date on his tour schedule. Has Australia really 'Gone Country'? Dave Roberts investigates.

Kings of Leon + The Stills - Acer Arena (21.3.09)


It goes without saying that there has been no band who has even come close in matching the success Kings of Leon has seen in Australia this past year. And all it took was one song.

Kanye West + Nas + Scribe + Consequence + Kid Cudi - Acer Arena (06.12.08)


I think it would be fair to say that most people were fairly blown away by the show Kanye West put on at Good Vibrations 2008. In fact, the whole festival seemed to be just a lead up to a production the likes of which I've never seen at a festival before - costume changes, effects, a fantastic stage set up, and Kanye at the top of his game as he was gearing up for the "Glow in the Dark" US tour.
