The Brightside
27 Warner St,
Fortitude Valley

What’s the best thing about the venue?
We’re not quite sure, but it’s something in-between the huge sound system, the chill beer garden, the massive bookings, the DJs after bands and the awesome people that come hang out every night.

What’s the history of the venue?
Popular live music venue turned techno club down a Valley side street rescued by the Fans Group and Destroy All Lines who wanted a new place to drink beers, hang out late and stage dive to punk, metal and hardcore.

What is your venue doing to help the local music scene?
Refusing to open unless we have bands playing.

What are some of the highlights so far?
Sell out Kisschasy show where the crowd was louder than the band or In Hearts Wake packing a Sunday out.
