Sydney Oasis fans urged to use public transport for sold-out concerts
Authorities in Sydney are encouraging Oasis fans to skip driving and make use of public transport to avoid heavy traffic ahead of two sold-out performances at Accor Stadium this Friday and Saturday. Around 140,000 concertgoers are expected to arrive at Sydney Olympic Park over the weekend.
Transport guidance for concert attendees
Transport for NSW has advised fans that travel on public transport is included with their concert tickets. Express trains will run frequently from Central Station to Olympic Park from mid-afternoon on Friday, with return services continuing late into the night. Those coming from Sydney’s western suburbs can transfer at Lidcombe for a direct connection to Olympic Park.
- Express trains from Central to Olympic Park begin mid-afternoon Friday.
- Return services operate after the show until late evening.
- Major Event Buses will operate on nine routes from 3:30 pm to 7 pm.
- The final return bus from Olympic Park leaves at midnight.
Oasis tour momentum continues
The Sydney shows follow three performances in Melbourne, where the band played to 200,000 fans at Marvel Stadium. Their return to Victoria’s capital was met with strong enthusiasm both from fans and local businesses.
“Oasis are the economic juggernaut that this city and my bar desperately needed,” wrote the owner of Melbourne’s iconic Cherry Bar in an open letter to the Gallagher brothers.
Summary
The upcoming Oasis concerts are expected to bring major crowds to Sydney Olympic Park, prompting officials to emphasize the ease and efficiency of using public transport rather than driving.
