Brisbane’s Fortitude Valley is now home to a brand new outdoor live music venue, ‘The Valley Drive In’. The venue has taken the place of the beloved Brightside carpark, which has housed gigs from the likes of Dune Rats, DZ Deathrays and WAAX, as well acted as a home for festivals like BIGSOUND and The Blurst Of Times.

As reported by The Music, Brissy-based music fans will already be much acquainted with the space, with venue booker Cael Johnston saying that the demand for gigs in the asphalt area became so large he had no choice but to expand.

“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 and we feel that this venue will give punters an evening that they will never forget,” Johnston says.

The Valley Drive In is officially a fully licenced venue and is set to be fixed with its own permanent staging and production – get ready to suss plenty of gigs and festivals there throughout 2018.
