Fortitude Music Hall

World Class venue. Watched The Living End, November 2025, one of Australia’s premier bands of all time. Sound quality was impressive. Crowd control was seamless. Cleanliness was noticeably pleasant. Staff were professional and reassuring, which showed their experience in holding high level musical acts and performances. The Hall itself as a layout is brilliant in the fact that it has such a large capacity, yet relatively so much visibility. The feeling of intimacy yet simultaneously experiencing also the atmosphere is priceless with live music! Aircon was well appreciated throughout. Lighting cannot be faulted, it was exceptional. From entrance to exiting - security were consistent, adding that level of comfort that cannot be taken for granted, smooth & efficient. Must mention again the sound was extraordinarily good, what a memorable night!

One of my favourite venues... Does sadly lack amenities that accommodate larger people but always a great place to see a show

One of the best venues in Fortitude Valley. I’ve been to 5 different concerts at this venue and all were overall good experiences. Depending on the ticket and show there’s the balcony which is my personal favourite place to be to enjoy the show with a view but without being surrounded by a lot of people. The sound is always good and the staff are friendly

I loved seeing Gregory Alan Isakov perform here, he was absolutely incredible. Unfortunately, the venue itself was disappointing. Tickets were close to $100 for standing room, but it felt like far too many were sold for the space. The crowd was so overcrowded that it was difficult to see the stage at all. While there are a few raised levels, they don’t accommodate nearly enough people, so many of us ended up paying a premium just to stare at the back of someone’s head. On top of that, the upstairs carpet was extremely sticky and unclean — to the point where it almost pulled my shoe off. It really took away from the overall experience. I’d absolutely see Gregory again, but I’d think twice about attending another show at this venue unless crowd management and cleanliness improve.

Amazing venue and even more amazing staff!! Had booked a standing only gig "The Living End" then due to a broken leg, crutches/wheelchair etc approached via email to see if I was still able to attend. Zac Carr in Administration was so friendly & accommodating arranging special seating for us. Awesome communication and care at all times. Then on the night ALL staff we encountered were so helpful and made what could have been stressful anything but. Always had smiles on their faces and absolutely nothing was too much trouble. Have always loved this place as a venue but now love it even more due to the kind, helpful, awesome staff, from first email to Zac to the end of the night upon leaving an awesome gig. Thank you so much to all of the amazing team at FVMH!

My wife and I attended Crowded House on the 14/5 arriving around 19:30. As per images, from minute one, the tickets seemed very, very oversold, and essentially if we pushed inside past the foyer doors (at the front bar) we were crushed (or crushed others) within meters (we did get a few meters in but for safety concerns, retreated after a few minutes). I believe the band stopped the concert twice in the first 30 mins to address people who were victims of the crush, allow them to get treatments and then move on. Footage available if required. Anyways, safety issues aside and the fact that we could not get beyond the initial doors safely (near either side of the front bar), we had to settle for watching the show in a queue, on a screen, adjacent to the gents toilets and well outside the auditorium (see images), where the sound quality was uncannily like watching the band, on a screen, in a foyer outside of the auditorium right next to the gents toilets as the venue had sold too many tickets. We left around 5 songs in, knowing that after the band played the new songs and got onto the big hits, it was only going to get worse. I have been to many gigs there (Primal Scream, Morrisey etc) and have always found the venue to be top notch but tonight was really bad.

This place was full of good vibes last night, we came here to see UB40 and it was not disappointing! Amenities were good, staff and venue management was tip top. The Air conditioning could have been a bit better as on the top mezzanine area it was pretty hot, though it has been very muggy lately on the coast. Other than that we had a great time, stage sound mixing was good and the lighting also. Only very few people getting a bit rowdy from liquid courage but security was well onto it and pulled up anyone acting up. Bar had a good variety of drinks and some potato chips for people having a hunger moment. It was nice to have a few seated areas at the back of the mezzanine for people wanting a little rest break. We appreciated our night here, cheers!

Awesome venue, especially if you have mobility issues. We attended the Jackson Dean concert this evening. I have a hidden disability so requested accessibility seating. They give you priority entry (no queuing) then the option to sit near the stage or at the back. We opted for the front and were offered earplugs as we were very near the speakers. A staff member then came and checked on us after the warm up act & we were offered bottled water throughout the night. An excellent evening and a huge thank you to the most attentive venue staff we have come across. We’ll certainly look out for gigs at this venue in the future.
