The Turrbal and Yuggera peoples
Queensland
Brisbane
Arkhefield partnering together with Live Nation, Secret Sounds, John Collins and Scott Hutchinson – recognised Brisbane’s music scene had limited access to mid-size venues, meaning bands would have to travel interstate to gain the exposure they needed to launch their careers. The group saw the opportunity to fill the void that Festival Hall left behind by creating a new venue which could house 3000-4000 people.
All in all this was a journey of discovery and translating between the music and construction worlds, driven by the belief that Brisbane needed this place to gather, play, celebrate and have fun.
