Why it's worth checking out

The Palais Theatre stands on the Lower Esplanade right on the St Kilda foreshore, a magnificent and historic Art Deco theatre that's one of Melbourne's most iconic and beloved venues. A grand survivor from the golden age of cinema and live performance, it hosts concerts, comedy and shows in a spectacular, characterful setting beside the bay.

The appeal is that combination of stunning heritage architecture, a wonderful atmosphere and a prime beachfront location: seeing a show in the grand, ornate auditorium is a genuine occasion, with the bonus of the St Kilda foreshore, Luna Park and the bay right outside. It's a true Melbourne landmark, treasured by performers and audiences alike.

With a 4.5 rating from more than 4,800 reviews, it's a much-loved institution. Performances, shows, ticketing and access vary entirely with what's on, and popular events sell out, so it's essential to check the current program and book directly before you plan your visit — and to arrive with time to take in the spectacular building and its lovely beachfront setting.

Spot Score

The Spot Score is our composite of five signals — two about the venue's standing with visitors and three about how complete and current this listing is. It is not a visitor rating and not a verdict on the food or the experience. The 4.5 from 4,809 reviews is Google's visitor rating, shown separately and never altered by us.
