Beloved Queensland Live Music Venue To Reopen Next Month

Beloved Queensland entertainment precinct NightQuarter will finally open its doors at its new location on the Sunshine Coast next month.

The popular live music hotspot’s relocation from Gold Coast was put on hold back in March when COVID hit, but owners Michelle Christoe and Ian Van der Woude have now confirmed its opening weekend for 6-8 November.

“We have invested millions alongside Stockland into the precinct to provide immersive entertainment every weekend, a curated selection of global eats and unique experiences,” Christoe said.

“This extends from Cabaret Thursdays, Friday and Saturday nights to Sunday afternoons with vintage and design markets – and yes you can bring your dogs on Sundays!

“The hospitality and the entertainment industries have been hit hard by the pandemic and we are looking at new and different ways we can reinvigorate the talent that exists on the Sunshine Coast and attract the drive market to the Southern end of the Sunshine Coast.”

The Amity Affliction’s Joel Birch, a Sunshine Coast local, added: "I think that Michelle and NightQuarter are pushing the arts scene on the Sunny Coast in the right direction and hopefully this is going to kick off some more things.

“It would be nice for Sunshine Coast businesses to follow the lead here and realise that art does drive the economy. The more you have the art, the more you are driving free marketing for the region.”
