Live Nation To Launch New 3,000-Capacity Music Venue In Western Australia

Live Nation is set to enter the Western Australian entertainment market. Today, it announced the building of a new venue to host live music, comedy, and theatre.

The new space, the Northbridge Music Hall, will be located on 77 Francis St, in the heart of Perth. It will be a purpose-built venue that opens in Summer 2026/2027 and will have a capacity of 3,000 punters.

According to a press release, Live Nation expects to host 120 shows in the venue’s first year. With its proximity to RAC Arena and providing a space for mid-sized shows in the city, the promoters have plans to elevate the live music scene in Perth.

Northbridge Music Hall will be home to two performance spaces: a main room and a smaller band room. Both spaces will be equipped with state-of-the-art staging and production, while the industrial façade out front will welcome all sorts of entertainment fans; Live Nation promising to bring a “diverse line-up of local and international acts” to the venue.

With its launch, Live Nation expects to create “at least 70” direct employment opportunities and pathways for music industry professionals, citing additional “positive economic impacts” for local businesses, hospitality, and the live music scene in Perth.

Live Nation’s announcement about the Northbridge Music Hall follows the company’s recent expression of interest in “delivering a world-class arena in Brisbane’s CBD.”

Live Nation already owns The Fortitude Music Hall and The Triffid in Brisbane. In Melbourne, the event promoters own the Palais Theatre and operate Festival Hall. They also own the Hindley Street Music Hall in Adelaide and Anita’s Theatre in Wollongong.

In a statement, Alex Klos, President, and Paul Piticco, Director of Touring and Venue Development, Live Nation Australasia, said of the new WA venue, “Northbridge Music Hall is set to become a cornerstone of Perth’s cultural landscape and a dynamic space for live entertainment.

“Designed to welcome both rising talent and world-class performers, it’s an investment in the city’s creative future, and we’re excited to collaborate with the local arts community to create new opportunities for both performers and fans.”
