C&G’s Guide to the Australian Open 2020
It’s summer… and that means tennis season! This year the Australian Open will be running from the 20th of January until the 2nd of February featuring all your favourite players, activities, and musicians. This latest C&G blog summarises all the exciting events on offer – so whether you’re here for the sport, the music or the rides, you’ve got your calendar sorted.
This will be your guide to keeping up with the matches throughout the much anticipated Australian Open. As new winners get announced, this page will be updated live with future matches so don’t forget to keep checking back to avoid missing out! You can check out all your favourite players here as well.
When you’re not enjoying the live matches, the AO Ballpark presented by Emirates will keep the whole family entertained for hours. It will be open daily offering live stage shows, obstacle courses, climbing walls, as well as the ANZ Tennis Hot Shots Zone for the little ones to try out their tennis skills!

A first this year, the Hilltop at Birrarung Marr is where you can enjoy the Australian Open from a new height. There will be a SkyFlyer attraction that’s 35 metres tall, making it the best vantage point of the whole event! This is perfect for groups who want to sit back and relax to good food, excellent vibes, and even enjoy a daily movie on the big screen available. The Hilltop will be free to enter but you will need a ticket for the attractions, which can be found here.
It’s the perfect place to soak up the Australian summer while listening to your favourite Australian and international artists. The Australian Open 2020 will kick off on the 19th of January with a special concert dedicated to raising money for the Red Cross Bushfire Appeal. Jessica Mauboy will be headlining alongside Montaigne and Lily Papas. You can grab your tickets here.
Can’t make that concert? There is an impressive line-up of artists gracing the stage in the remaining weeks. Notable names include Cub Sport, Thelma Plum, Lime Cordiale, The Veronicas, and Matt Corby. You may also be interested in UK legends Bastille and Billy Idol as well!
