Construction work on Brisbane’s newest live music venue, The Fortitude Music Hall, is approaching completion, with the venue scheduled to open in late July.

Set to be the largest ballroom/theatre-styled space in Australia, the $43 million venue is creating a new entertainment space for Brisbane.

With a venue capacity of 3,300, the 312 Brunswick Street site spans 2,500 metre² and is the culmination and vision of Hutchinson Builders Chairman Scott Hutchinson, former Powderfinger member John Collins, and co-founder of Secret Sounds Paul Piticco.

In time it will deliver additional food and beverage venues and a function space, an important centrepiece of the masterplan to maintain Fortitude Valley’s position as a destination for local and international touring artists and an entertainment hub for locals.

Speaking at the Asia-Pacific Venue Industry Congress in Melbourne yesterday, Live Nation Australasia Chief Executive Roger Field said “with Brisbane always having had a local music scene, it is clear that a 2000-3500 capacity venue has been wanting.

“With the Music Hall located in an area of high footfall, and with flexibility and accessibility factored into its fitout, the venue already has a busy booking schedule.”
