Summer of Tennis Live Site
Watch the Australian Open on the Big Screen, check out exclusive tennis-themed experiences – with a series of on-site activations throughout the tournament.
During the Australian Open, Fed Square is your gateway to the action down at Melbourne Park.
Alongside the screening of the AO on our Big Screen, you can explore various activations.
At New Balance at Fed Square, you can relax, listen to local DJ sets, grab a coffee and play lawn bowls with Australian cricketer Pat Cummins – or get your hair cut or nails done, inspired by the styles of tennis icons like Jordan Thompson and Coco Gauff.
There’s the AO Shop at Fed Square – a pop-up where you buy exclusive tennis-inspired art prints by local artists and shop for official AO merch.
If you’re on the way or coming back from Melbourne Park, check out the new KIA Tasman model on Birrarung Marr Walk.
Other pop-up activations include the World of Warcraft: Midnight House & Lounge in the Upper Square, where you and your party can dress up and watch the tennis from the comfort of Azeroth (via Fed Square).
