Overview

Once again, Melbourne's late summer openair cinema will occupy hallowed turf, with a pop-up cinema on the pitch at the MCG. Taking over the iconic sporting arena for two nights in mid-February, Cinema at the 'G will showcase a pair of hit movies from the last year under the stars.

On Friday, February 14, the venue will be feeling the love for its screening Rocketman, the Taron Egerton-starring hit about the life of Elton John. The following evening, Ride Like a Girl will race across the stadium's screen, telling the true tale of Melbourne Cup-winning jockey Michelle Payne.

The venue might seat 100,000 on grand final day, but only 2000 tickets are available for each night of cinema. Ticketholders can bring picnic blankets, pillows and snacks, or munch on food available for purchase onsite.

Doors open at 6.30pm for an 8.30pm start, and proceeds from ticket sales will go to the Bank of Melbourne Foundation, which in turns supports an array of Victorian charities.
