The 8,500 capacity Kooyong Stadium was the venue for the Australian Open for the first time in 1927, hosting it sporadically between then and 1972 when it was made the permanent venue until 1987. In 1988 the event was moved to the National Tennis Centre in Richmond.
Since 1988, it has held the Kooyong (now AAMI) Classic, a lead up event to the Australian Open. It has held several Davis Cup finals.
The stadium was also used for concerts by Led Zeppelin (1972), The Rolling Stones (1973), Black Sabbath (1973), Bob Dylan (1986) and David Bowie (1987).
