This was just posted on the ATP website. Please note this information is subject to change, but given it’s direct from the website, we’re pretty certain this is legit. We have been waiting and hoping and praying for ATP to return to Australia ever since Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds curated the first ever Australian ATP in 2009.

There will be two stages, a cinema, art exhibition and an amazing food court.

We will be running buses from the CBD you can pre-book closer to the event and there is also limited on-site parking available at the venue.
