Its portfolio includes the Australian Football League Grand Final, State of Origin, and global tours by icons like Ed Sheeran, Taylor Swift, Eminem, U2, the Red Hot Chili Peppers, and the much-anticipated, Australia-exclusive Coldplay ‘Music of the Spheres’ tour.
“Perth stands out as an ideal venue for WWE’s Premium Live Event in Australia, especially given our past successes in landmark global locations,” remarked WWE’s Senior Vice President, Chris Legentil. “Promising a week packed with WWE festivities, our mission is to engrave an indelible mark on Western Australia and our vast WWE family.”
