25 May - 1 June 2027 | Afterpay Arena
Radiohead return to Australia in 2027, bringing six massive Sydney shows to Afterpay Arena. For a tour this rare, the hotel choice matters.
Mercure Sydney Parramatta gives Radiohead fans a practical base close to Sydney Olympic Park, with the space and flexibility to shape the night properly. Check-in is from 2:00pm, so you can arrive in the afternoon, park, unpack and get ready without squeezing everything into the hour before doors.
If you are driving in, the hotel’s Comfort Combo package is worth considering. The offer includes breakfast for two each morning and complimentary onsite parking, which helps take care of two of the main extras that often come with a concert stay.
Your Radiohead night from Parramatta
Before the show
Arrive in Parramatta, check in from 2:00pm and leave the car at the hotel. For the weekday shows, you can enjoy dinner at M Restaurant before heading to Sydney Olympic Park, or make the most of nearby Parramatta dining if you are attending the Saturday performance.
Getting there
Afterpay Arena is located in Sydney Olympic Park, around 10 to 15 minutes by car from Mercure Sydney Parramatta, depending on traffic and event conditions. You can also travel by train from Parramatta Station to Olympic Park Station, usually via Lidcombe, followed by a short walk through the precinct.
After the show
Once the final notes fade, head back to Parramatta and leave the heaviest arena crowds behind. With check-out by 11:00am, there is time for breakfast the next morning before heading home or continuing your Sydney stay.
Make the Comfort Combo part of the plan
The Comfort Combo is a strong fit for Radiohead fans turning the show into an overnight stay, especially across a six-night Sydney run where guests may be choosing between multiple dates.
The offer includes:
- Breakfast for two each morning
- Complimentary onsite parking
- Access to hotel facilities including the outdoor pool, gym and tennis court
It is a simple way to keep the stay organised, particularly if you are travelling from regional NSW, interstate or across Greater Sydney.
About Radiohead’s Sydney shows
Radiohead’s 2027 tour marks their first Australian visit in fifteen years, making the Sydney dates one of the most anticipated music moments of the year.
Known for intense, immersive live performances, Radiohead are not the kind of band that simply works through a standard greatest-hits set. Their shows move through atmosphere, tension and release, drawing from a catalogue that has shaped alternative music for decades.
With six nights at Afterpay Arena, Sydney becomes one of the key stops on the tour, giving fans several chances to experience the band’s long-awaited return live.
