IT was a sell-out opening night on a perfect autumn evening at the Disney+ Drive-In at Bankwest Stadium recently.
The Stadium Drive-In was a hit community event in Western Sydney during COVID last year and it’s back bigger than ever in 2021, taking over the northern carpark for the next month.
Until April 29, the Western Sydney community will be able to watch a string of classic flicks from the comfort of their cars thanks to event promoter Pedestrian Group, working with the Bankwest Stadium team.
Fans can expect an exciting variety of films such as Deadpool, The Lion King, Jojo Rabbit, Aladdin, Titanic, The Greatest Showman Sing-Along, Romeo + Juliet, Pretty Woman, Moana Sing-Along and many more.

Bankwest Stadium CEO Daryl Kerry is excited to welcome the wider community back to the Stadium.
“The Disney+ Drive-In was one of the truly unique event experiences of 2020 and we are delighted to have it back at Bankwest Stadium in 2021,” said Mr Kerry.
“Bankwest Stadium has quickly become part of the social fabric of Western Sydney and these events continue to show the venue as a valuable community asset.”
Rachel Tikey, Commercial Director of Pedestrian Group, said: “The continuation of Disney+ Drive-In is a testament to the success of the truly standout ‘IRL’ brand experiences that Pedestrian Group creates and we are delighted to have our partners Disney+ and Doordash onboard for this second iteration of Disney+ Drive-In.”
DoorDash has come on board as an exclusive food delivery partner, so ticket holders can satisfy their cravings by ordering their favourite cuisine straight to the comfort of their car.
Patrons are provided with a special code to be used on the DoorDash app to order their food, which is being delivered to the Stadium’s entry gate and collected by Disney+ Drive-In staff and taken to the person who ordered.
Bankwest Stadium and Pedestrian Group/Openair Cinemas, in consultation with NSW Health, is operating with a commitment to a COVIDSafe environment under a full COVIDSafe Plan.
