The Valley Drive In Is Brisbane's New Outdoor Music Venue
The Brighside's car park has been transformed into a permanent outdoor gig space.
Fortitude Valley has a brand new outdoor music space — and it's highly likely that you've been there before. While gigs have taken over The Brightside car park on plenty of occasions, the Warner Street patch of pavement is now dedicating itself to that very purpose, all under the name The Valley Drive In.
No, you won't leave your vehicle there, or see a movie. You will catch plenty of live shows, however. "We've found that so many artists and promoters are looking to put on a show that simply cannot be experienced inside a traditional live space," says venue booker Cael Johnston on The Valley Drive In's website. "And we feel that this venue will give punters an evening that they will never forget."
A collaboration with Social State and The Brightside, the openair space will boast permanent staging all-year-round, and is also fully licensed. Keep an eye on its Facebook page for future gigs — adding to the list of folks that played the space in its former guise, such as Dune Rats, Methyl Ethel, Goldlink, Angel Olsen, DZ Deathrays and WAAX, as well as events including The Blurst of Times, Biscuit Factory, Neko Nation, Out On The Weekend and BIGSOUND's outdoor stage.
Find The Valley Drive In at 27 Warner St, Fortitude Valley.
