Inner West Mayor Darcy Byrne
Inner West Council has announced it will hold the first ever live music concert at Leichhardt Oval in September to celebrate the “Eighth Wonder” as it closes for a major renovation.
The event, called One Last Roar, will bring together major Australian acts to play on the ground for the first time.
This free event will give Tigers fans, music lovers and Inner Westies a chance to mark the end of an era of this beloved venue and the start of construction of a highly-anticipated new chapter.
With big musical acts, and some of the best food and beverage outlets, this special event will be a final gift to the fans who have fought to save Sydney's favourite suburban ground. Most notably, it will give fans a chance to go onto the hallowed turf they've watched countless games on over the years and experience the iconic atmosphere for themselves.
One Last Roar won’t be the last time Leichhardt Oval hosts music events. It's a signal of what's to come. The renovation will begin soon after the curtain falls and will incorporate design elements to ensure that music and live performance are part of the future.
Inner West Mayor Darcy Byrne said, “This is Council’s way of saying thanks to our community who have fought to save this iconic ground for decades.
“There's no place like Leichhardt Oval, and our community knows that. What better way to celebrate than to all be together at the Eighth Wonder of the World enjoying good company, good entertainment, and good food.
“The crowd at Leichhardt Oval is always rocking but this will be the first time there's been rock and roll on the field. We're expecting this to be a party not to be missed."
One Last Roar will be held at Leichhardt Oval in September 2026. The date and headline acts will be announced in coming months.
