Gorillaz Play First Show In Australia In 12 Years In Melbourne

by Paul Cashmere on July 25, 2022

in News

Melbourne ended up being treated to the first Gorillaz show in 12 years after the headline performance at Splendour In The Grass on Friday was cancelled due to torrential rains.

Gorillaz performed at the newly named John Cain Arena, named after the State of Victoria’s 41st premier John Cain. As Premier, Cain approved the building of the National Tennis Center (now called Rod Laver Arena) and the development of Melbourne Park (where John Cain Arena now stands). The development was crucial to keeping the Australian Open in Melbourne, where 40 years later it still remains.

Hisense Arena was renamed John Cain Arena in December 2020.
