About the city
Glenorchy, a city within the Hobart metropolitan area in Tasmania, is one of the important destinations for concerts, sporting fixtures and major events in the south of the island. A central place in the local entertainment scene is occupied by MyState Bank Arena, a multipurpose venue on the banks of the River Derwent that attracts audiences for sporting and music events. Glenorchy also combines urban amenities, restaurants and shopping areas with immediate access to the river and natural landscapes, making it easy to turn an event visit into part of a wider stay in the Greater Hobart area.
Getting around the city and reaching the main event venues is relatively straightforward. The Metro Tasmania bus network connects Glenorchy Interchange with Hobart City Interchange and other parts of the metropolitan area, while the Brooker Highway provides direct road access to Glenorchy and MyState Bank Arena. For international and domestic visitors, the main air gateway is Hobart Airport; the SkyBus Hobart Express airport service connects the airport with central Hobart, from where the journey to Glenorchy can continue by public transport, taxi or car. This connectivity makes attending events convenient even for visitors who are not staying directly beside the arena or stadium.
Before or after a concert or sporting event, it is worth exploring the waterfront of the River Derwent and GASP! – Glenorchy Art and Sculpture Park, where walking paths, public art and open spaces combine with views across the water and surrounding mountains. Nearby is also MONA – Museum of Old and New Art, one of Tasmania's best-known cultural attractions, while Moonah Main Street offers a diverse selection of restaurants, cafés and an urban local atmosphere. The combination of events, cultural attractions and riverside scenery makes Glenorchy a practical base for visitors who want to combine tickets for a concert or sporting event with additional sightseeing in the Hobart area.
