If you're a music lover in Melbourne, then the Sidney Myer Music Bowl is an absolute must-visit! This concert venue offers a unique and unforgettable experience, combining the beauty of nature with the mesmerizing sounds of live music.

Situated amidst lush green grass, with a portion covered and the stunning backdrop of Melbourne CBD, the Sidney Myer Music Bowl is a picture-perfect setting for any concert. The open-air atmosphere creates a sense of freedom and connection with both the music and the surrounding environment.

One of the highlights of this venue is undoubtedly the opportunity to witness breathtaking sunsets while enjoying incredible performances. The combination of the vibrant colors in the sky and the melodic tunes creates a magical ambiance that is hard to replicate anywhere else.

Recently, I had the pleasure of attending a Ludovico Einaudi concert at the Sidney Myer Music Bowl, and it was nothing short of sensational. The audio quality was top-notch, allowing every note and nuance to be heard with clarity. Einaudi's music, combined with the enchanting setting, created a truly immersive experience that left me in awe.

What makes the Sidney Myer Music Bowl even more special is that they occasionally host free concerts. This allows everyone to come together and enjoy the power of music, regardless of their budget. It's a wonderful initiative that further enhances the sense of community and inclusivity.

In conclusion, if you're looking for a concert venue that offers not only amazing performances but also a breathtaking view and a chance to witness stunning sunsets, look no further than the Sidney Myer Music Bowl. Whether you're attending a paid concert or enjoying one of their free events, you're guaranteed an unforgettable experience that will leave you wanting to come...

The Teskey Brothers with Orchestra Victoria, Emma Donovan and The Putbacks. We booked in seated section and chose front row of second tier and ending on an aisle which gave us a wide space in front of us. I would recommend these seat to anyone attending a staged concert as still very close to stage. I attended with my daughter, my grandson (17)and another friend we parked at Arts centre very easy and reasonably priced. I have difficulty walking and use a stick so when we parked it wasn't that easy to find lifts, found some stairs 3 flights not ideal, however came out at front of Arts centre. and I also have a lung condition so can't walk very far, we crossed from the Art's Centre over and up to Linlithgow Ave the queue was extremely long fortunately the courtesy Golf cart was available and took my daughter and I up to accessible entry where we were met and checked through with great courtesy and speed, facilities were pointed out, all I all a great start to a great night. The whole show was brilliant, we have been big fans of the Teskey bros for some time but to see them live with a full orchestra was something special, love Emma Donovan's style, Melbourne turned on the best weather a very balmy night with a gentle breeze. Would recommend S M Bowl as a venue for me now has to be seated but have been before with a picnic and used the lawn. A very mixed age group in crowd and a most people wore masks when moving around which was required' very happy to see. Well...

So the Sydney Myer Music Bowl has been in Kings Domain Park since 1959. It has reserved seating for about 2000 and lawn seating for about 11000. Lawn seating or standing is fine if it's a nice day but I'm here after a downpour and whole area is a soggy soggy mess. But I did wear my old runners in anticipation! Never again but tonight seeing the Hoodoo Gurus concert and won the tix so shouldn't complain but I'm not, I'm reviewing! Though when I was young I saw Dire Straits here and I was on lawn and couldn't see and couldn't care less. Heaps of food trucks offering usual burgers, chips, donuts, pizza, Mexican and a vegan hummus bowl outlet that was the quietest of the lot. The bathrooms well they have been there since 1959 and it shows. Good lord they need an upgrade. Myer Music Bowl easy 10 min walk from Flinders Street station and pass some beautiful sites along way. However it is an OH&S nightmare because other than the stage and the food outlets the place is pitch black, maybe they could put some dimlights around?? 11.2.23 well it's good being here in fine weather seeing Icehouse with support by Eskimo Joe who were excellent. From food trucks husband and I got chips and hot jam donuts, Greek style chicken and salad and coffee. ICEHOUSE! 2.12 Teskey Brothers which I'm not into but husband likes so here I am. I'm actually not really fan of this venue, queues too long (15 mins for chips), very muddy, undercover still get rained on, grrrr and this...

In 1959 the Sidney Myer Music Bowl was opened. Donated to the people of Melbourne by the Myer family, who were synonymous with the store chain in Australia, is a popular venue for concerts, opera, other events, plays and Carols By Candlelight - a yearly tradition enjoyed by young and old. This unique sound shell music bowl/structure allows for excellent sound quality and is worth a walk around to admire the construction. The public to buy a seat [2000] or general admission tickets [11,000 capacity] to shows and bring their blankets and chair, some food and sit on the grassed area. When not being used for shows it is open for the public to walk/jog through [except the stage/seating areas] as it is part of the Domain Gardens, the Arts precinct and close to the Yarra River and other tourists and sporting venues. Within its confines, there is a range of sculptures, including a memorial to Sidney Myer and murals by local artists. An exciting place to photograph with the city skyline in the background. Places to sit around it and a lovely pond with the occasional ducks are nearby. A place for all, any time of year.
