Crown Resorts has announced that it is going to redevelop its entertainment venue in Crown Melbourne, The Palms, into a ‘world-class 1,200-seat theater’.
The ‘major redevelopment’ is set to commence at the beginning of 2026, and acts as an ‘important component of Crown’s strategy to elevate our entertainment offering and become Australia’s ultimate entertainment destination’.
The theater redevelopment also aims to ‘enhance Melbourne’s tourism industry and provide an economic boost to the entertainment sector’.
Speaking of the upgrade, Crown Melbourne CEO Mike Volkert noted that “This project is the first of many as part of our strategic vision to continue investing in Crown Melbourne to transform Crown into Melbourne’s ultimate entertainment destination and significantly contribute to Melbourne’s cultural economy as we work to revitalize our city’s nightlife, entertainment and dining experiences”.
The Palms first opened in 1997, and typically hosts over 150 shows per year.
According to Crown Melbourne’s website, the venue currently has bookings through October 7th.
