Two arenas, four days
Australia gets two nights of the 4WARD tour. MAMAMOO play Melbourne’s John Cain Arena on September 22, 2026, then Sydney’s TikTok Entertainment Centre on September 25. Some fans fly between the two cities and catch both shows.
MAMAMOO debuted in 2014 under RBW. Solar, Moonbyul, Wheein and Hwasa built their name on live vocals rather than lip-sync, and that is why their concerts lean heavily on harmonies and ad-libs. The tour name refers to the four members moving forward together.
The Olympic Park arena
The TikTok Entertainment Centre is the indoor arena at Sydney Olympic Park, known for years as Qudos Bank Arena. It sits about 15 km west of the CBD, beside the 2000 Olympic precinct. In arena configuration it holds roughly 21,000 people, the largest indoor concert room in the city.
The seats rise in steep tiers around a flat floor. Floor sections put you closest to the stage. The lower bowl gives a clean, raised sightline to the whole production. Ticketing runs through the venue’s official partner, which sells by section using a seat map.
Getting to Olympic Park
Most concertgoers come by train, and the walk from the station is short. The usual options:
- Train: Olympic Park station is on the T7 line, which shuttles from Lidcombe; Lidcombe connects to Central on the T1 and T2 lines. On major event nights, Sydney Trains often adds direct services from Central.
- Car: Sydney Olympic Park has large multi-level car parks. Exits back onto the M4 are slow straight after a full-house show.
- Rideshare: There is a designated pickup zone in the precinct, and demand climbs sharply as the arena empties.
Many visitors stay in the CBD or around Parramatta. Both have direct rail links and plenty of food open late.
How a MooMoo night runs
MAMAMOO’s fans call themselves MooMoos, and the crowd behaves like a K-pop crowd. Official lightsticks fill the bowl, and fan chants are shouted on cue. That means members’ names in the intros and set call-backs during the choruses. Fans usually learn the chants from fan-made guides that circulate online before the tour.
What K-pop arena nights here usually involve:
- Merch queues: at K-pop arena shows, the official merchandise line typically forms hours before doors. Popular sizes and lightsticks often sell out by evening.
- Freebies and trading: fans hand out photocards, stickers and printed slogan banners outside the arena. Trading freebies is a normal part of the night.
- Banner projects: fan groups often hand out cards for a coordinated moment during a ballad. Joining in is expected, not optional politeness.
- Payment: Australian arenas run largely on card and tap payments, both at food counters and at the merch stands.
Bag size limits and camera rules at this arena follow the venue’s standard concert policy, which it posts on its own site. Phone photos and video are common during K-pop sets. Professional cameras with detachable lenses generally are not allowed.
After the encore, the station platforms fill fast. Plenty of fans stay in the precinct for twenty minutes or so, trading cards and taking photos, until the first rush of trains has cleared.
