It’s due to host performances by Delta Goodrem, Kiss and Keith Urban later this year, but Qudos Bank Arena at Homebush will first be repurposed as a mass vaccination hub for year 12 students.

Nearly 20,000 students from the eight Sydney areas subject to the harshest lockdown provisions will be vaccinated at Qudos Bank Arena during the week beginning August 9. After that, the venue will become a mass vaccination hub for the general public.
