- Global superstar Taylor Swift and her reputation Stadium Tour show on Friday 2 November;
- Australian football farewelling our greatest Socceroo Tim Cahill when the Socceroos play Lebanon at Stadium Australia on Tuesday 20 November;

Expect the unexpected at Monster Jam, the family entertainment spectacular that rolls out at Stadium Australia on Saturday 13 October.
The Stadium Australia arena will be turned in to a giant dirt track created with the sole purpose of pushing perfectly engineered, larger-than-life trucks and their star drivers to the limit.
It’s adrenaline-charged, high-flying, four-wheel excitement at its best.
Ten-time Grammy award winner, Taylor Swift, is bringing her reputation Stadium Tour to Stadium Australia on Friday 2 November.
The pop goddess will be returning to the scene of her phenomenal 2015 show that saw more than 76,000 fans turn out for one of the Stadium’s iconic concert moments.
Get ready for one of the hottest tours on the planet in 2018!
The great Tim Cahill, who announced his retirement after the 2018 FIFA World Cup, will be recognised for his contribution to the sport when the Socceroos meet Lebanon in an international friendly at Stadium Australia on Tuesday 20 November.
Stadium Australia has been the scene of some of Cahill’s finest performances during his 107-cap career – from the historic night against Uruguay in 2005 to last year’s sudden-death triumphs over Syria and Honduras that took the Socceroos to the World Cup.
It promises to be the ultimate farewell for Cahill. NSW has a vibrant Australian Lebanese community (165,000 Australians of Lebanese heritage live in Sydney alone) and the game is set to be a colourful celebration of football and culture.
