John Farnham

Looking for the perfect place to stay for The Songs of John Farnham: A Living Legend at Rod Laver Arena in Melbourne? Stay at Pullman East Melbourne, just a short walk from the venue — and make the whole evening as memorable as the tribute itself.

On Sunday 20 September 2026, Rod Laver Arena hosts a once-in-a-generation celebration of one of Australia's most beloved voices. More than 120 artists — including Keith Urban, Jimmy Barnes, Tina Arena, Richard Marx, Jessica Mauboy, Diesel and Human Nature — take the stage alongside a 38-piece orchestra and choir, with special satellite appearances from Celine Dion and Hugh Jackman, performing the songs that have soundtracked generations of Australian lives. It's a tribute night rather than a Farnham performance, with proceeds supporting Head and Neck Cancer Australia — a cause close to his own story. For a night this significant, it deserves more than just a show.

Start the evening at The Cliveden Bar and Dining — a relaxed, elegant setting to gather with friends or family before a night that's sure to bring out plenty of nostalgia. Then head to the show knowing your room or suite — with sweeping views of the Melbourne skyline, the MCG, and Fitzroy Gardens — is just a short stroll away once the final song fades.

Want to make the evening truly memorable? Book an Executive Room or Suite and include access to the Executive Lounge on Level 18, with complimentary canapés and drinks from 5:30pm to 7:30pm — a fitting start to a night celebrating an Australian icon.

Driving in? Secure undercover parking is available directly beneath the hotel.
