Roof comes down at Burswood Dome THE Burswood Dome curtain has come down on some of the world's greatest entertainers - and now the distinctive air-pressurised roof has come down as well. Having hosted Michael Jackson, AC/DC, Kylie Minogue, The Wiggles, Britney Spears, Justin Bieber, Metallica and Rihanna in its 26-year history, the Dome is being demolished to make way for a car park. The inflated teflon-coated fibreglass roof has sat 35 metres above ground level since the Dome's construction in 1987, held in position by cables arranged in a special grid pattern. On Friday, the eight huge fans that have maintained the constant air pressure needed to keep the roof inflated were turned off for the last time by Crown Perth chief executive Barry Felstead. The Perth landmark will make way for a 1000-bay car park needed for James Packer's upgraded Crown complex. The first concert held at the Dome was Mick Jagger in 1988 and the last concert was The Beach Boys in September last year. Cliff Richard and The Shadows will forever hold the record attendance at the venue, with more than 34,000 packing in to see the ageing crooner in 2010. Mr Packer has earmarked up to $560 million for future projects at Crown, including a new six-star hotel.
