Events Held
While it is best known for being a tennis venue, Melbourne Park also plays host to a number of other sports and musical events throughout the year. The venue tends to be used by more popular international performers, as it is the largest that the city has to offer, excluding the Docklands Stadium in the Docklands and the nearby Melbourne Cricket Ground, which are both hugely expensive.
The Two Tribes dance festival was held there annually.
Rod Laver Arena was the venue for the The Eagles' Emmy Award-winning 2005 "Farewell 1 Tour: Live from Melbourne" double-DVD recording.
