Discover Fed Square

Don’t miss any of the action when Liverpool takes on Real Madrid in the UEFA Champions League Final. These two powerhouse football teams will go head-to-head at 5am on Sunday 29 May and we’ll be airing the coverage on our Big Screen from 4:30am, in partnership with Stan Sport. Get down early to snag a seat as we predict it’ll be a busy one. We’ll also have free coffee* on offer at the cart near the stage from 4:30am, courtesy of Stan Sport. *Limited number of coffees available. Our friends at Transport Hotel are also airing the game, so if you want to enjoy the game while having a pizza then be sure to book a table.

Join us in celebrating the musical traditions and history of the Torres Strait, with the launch of Jessie Lloyd’s Ailan Songs project. Jessie will be joined by Songwomen from the Torres Strait and a six-piece band, with a free concert. This is a free event on the main stage at Federation Square. However, in the case of wet weather, the event will be moved to The Edge. Keep your tickets to get entry.
