EXCLUSIVE: Beloved Aussie Live Music Venue Moving To 'Bigger & Better Space'
"We are so proud of the foundation that you helped establish."
Beloved Brisbane live music venue The Foundry is moving to a new location after five great years.
The Music can exclusively reveal that effective immediately the Fortitude Valley instituion will no longer call 228 Wickham Street home due to building owners' decision to undertake a "heritage refurbishment" and revert back to the hotel's original name, The Prince Consort.
Local agency Lithium Entertainment has acquired The Foundry brand and "will be re-launching the venue, along with its history and integrity, into a new, bigger and better space" in the Valley this November.
The Foundry will continue to honour all previous ticket sales and is working "tirelessly" with promoters to ensure the transition into the new space is smooth.
"A huge thank you and cheers to five years of incredible memories at 228 Wickham," The Foundry said in a statement today.
"From our very first launch show with Velociraptor when the floor caved in, to hosting the likes of Dune Rats, The Babe Rainbow, WAAX, DZ Deathrays, Orville Peck, Polish Club, The Delta Riggs, Spacey Jane plus so many more incredible artists from our own backyard, spanning across the globe.

"We are so proud of the foundation that you helped establish. Our goal is not only to save & support the jobs of the hundreds of artists, promoters, roadies, bookers, hospitality staff and production crew without whom The Foundry could not exist - but to continue to provide a performance platform supporting as many touring showcases from local, national and international fronts as possible, long into the future.
"Stick with us Brisbane, we can't wait to unveil a bigger, better Foundry as a safe, inclusive space for people from all walks of life to congregate and share the love of our beautiful live music culture."
As well as hosting countless amounts of headline shows for Aussie talent, The Foundry was also a key venue in the annual BIGSOUND events, as well as the Mountain Goat Valley Crawl and the Blurst Of Times Festival.
