Tame Impala’s Sydney dates roll into a second night at Afterpay Arena tonight, bringing another evening peak-time crowd to Sydney Olympic Park. The Deadbeat tour is scheduled at the venue through Wednesday, with special guest Ninajirachi joining the bill. Transport for NSW lists doors from 6.15pm, a 7.30pm start and a 10.55pm finish for the Sydney shows.

The practical detail for concertgoers is the journey home. Transport for NSW says planned T4 Eastern Suburbs & Illawarra Line work is in place tonight from 9.50pm to 2.30am, with buses replacing trains between Waterfall, Cronulla and Hurstville. Services between Hurstville and Bondi Junction continue on a changed timetable.

At Olympic Park, the authority advises people to allow extra time and use public transport where possible. Its current road-closure notice covers sections of Showground Road and Olympic Boulevard until midnight Thursday.

Trains run regularly between Lidcombe and Olympic Park, while anyone driving is being urged to pre-book parking and expect a busier precinct before and after the show. The third and final Sydney date is Wednesday night.
