Gather Brisbane, comprising Live Nation, OVG and Plenary, will build a new 17,000-capacity arena (18,700 concert mode) in Woolloongabba, bringing more major live events to Brisbane. Brisbane and South East Queensland are among Australia’s fastest-growing regions, and the arena will provide the capacity and facilities needed to attract the world’s biggest artists and events. International and Australian tours will be able to include Brisbane alongside Sydney and Melbourne, giving local fans the chance to see major shows closer to home.
Directly connected to Woolloongabba Cross River Rail station and minutes from Brisbane’s central business district, the arena will be easy for fans to reach and offer enhanced premium and VIP experiences. It will also provide a flexible venue for major sporting events.
The arena is expected to welcome more than 1.2 million people each year, support more than 1,500 ongoing jobs and generate almost $844 million annually for Brisbane’s visitor economy, including hospitality, retail and the creative industries.
