The long-awaited replacement venue for the demolished Festival Hall, dubbed The Fortitude Music Hall, will pay tribute to the older city buildings demolished in the 1980s.
This architectural design feature was unveiled on Wednesday and will be on full display in 2019—when the hall is expected to open.
Former Powderfinger bassist John Collins, who now runs the Triffid music venue at Newstead, has been part of the replacement project alongside developer Scott Hutchinson. He says they drew inspiration from all the beautiful art deco theatres and venues that existed in Brisbane and were torn down in the ‘80s.
