International Convention Centre Sydney (ICC Sydney), Australia’s premier convention, exhibition and entertainment venue, is proud to announce the renaming of its world class theatre from First State Super Theatre to Aware Super Theatre, effective from mid-September 2020.
The news follows the announcement that its theatre naming rights partner, First State Super, will rebrand to Aware Super – also from mid-September – in a signal of its commitment to positive action and impact, which will help to build a better Australia.
The Fund first secured naming rights to the 8,000-seat venue in July 2019. Already an existing equity partner, the agreement increased First State Super’s investment in ICC Sydney as a result of the strong performance of the venue’s operations, its brand and reputation.
Located in the heart of Darling Harbour, the soon-to-be-named Aware Super Theatre, has hosted top global talent and live entertainment events, including Keith Urban, Jerry Seinfeld, Ariana Grande, Kylie Minogue, Hillary Clinton and Cher and Elton John.
ICC Sydney CEO, Geoff Donaghy, said the renaming of theatre marks a commitment by both parties to their ongoing partnership and positive evolution for the theatre ahead of hosting world class live events once again.
