New venue in Sydney: THE FORUM

This week a new venue is being launched in Sydney. THE FORUM SYDNEY is a purpose built venue that can hold up to 1300 for a live gig with great views of the stage from the many split levels and up to 2000 for a dance event.

The venue is owned by David Comerford, the former owner of the GAELIC CLUB (now the GAELIC THEATRE). The venue is located opposite the Hordern Pavilion at The Entertainment Quarter (Fox Studios) and is just minutes from Surry Hills. Apparently it features the very best in sound and lighting.

The launch gig is some dance thing, which I’m not really that interested in expanding on. However, if you’re into something a little bit harder check out THE HAUNTED and EXODUS with support from local band I KILLED THE PROM QUEEN who are hitting the stage here at the Forum on 7 March.

The venue doesn't appear to have a website yet, but you can check out the up and coming gigs at the Moshtix website.

It’s good to see new venues opening in Sydney, especially a larger one.

More support for live music!!!
