ANTI POP/HYPERPOP NIGHT: SCENE QUEENZ: JUNK0, LYRAH, MACËY, KVN, YACK

4worldlovers: As you take your seat (one of 2,500!) in Hamer Hall, Australia's premier, multi-level concert venue, get ready for a performance from some of the biggest national and international artists across jazz, rock, pop, multicultural, chamber, classical, cabaret and contemporary music.


Entering Hamer Hall, you may suddenly feel transported to some grand cave, deep below Melbourne’s streets. This is because Hamer Hall’s walls are actually painted in colours and patterns that reflect Australia’s gemstone deposits, giving the impression the building was carved out of a hillside.

The venue opened as the “Melbourne Concert Hall” on 6 November 1982 and quickly became the premier venue for orchestral performance in Melbourne. It was renamed in 2004 in honour of former Victorian Premier Sir Rupert Hamer AC, KCMG ED, who served from 1972–81 and championed the building of what has become Arts Centre Melbourne.

Hamer Hall is home to one of our flagship Resident Companies, the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra, and is the preferred Melbourne performance venue for the Australian Chamber Orchestra.

We are located at 100 St Kilda Road, Melbourne, just across the Yarra River from Flinders St Station. We have our own and there are also for getting here.

How do I hire an Arts Centre Melbourne venue or space?

If you book tickets online, you can use the “Select your own Seat” option to choose seats straight from the map – and if you click the little camera up in the top left hand corner, we will even give you a cheeky peek at what it looks like to sit from different parts of our theatres. There are also downloadable maps available .

Can I take photos or film footage of Arts Centre Melbourne?

If you are outside the building or in the foyer then100%, yes! We want you to share your memories of your visit with friends and family, but unless you have sought permission from us, any footage you take must be forpersonal use only and not contravene any of our policies around filming. Thanks for respecting this, now snap away!
