Sold Out Shows / November HighlightsBrisbane’s new live music space, The Triffid, is thrilled to announce that the Launch Party on Saturday 8 November has sold out! Saskwatch, The Creases and MT Warning will play to a capacity crowd of 800 people, showcasing the venue in full flight for the first time.
Recently announced shows by Bernard Fanning (Jan 22) and Paul Dempsey (Nov 15) have also sold out.
“Turning a vacant hangar into a live music space has been a huge project involving many people and I can’t wait to see the dream come to fruition this weekend. It is looking and sounding great! And there’s nothing more exciting and encouraging for a new venue than sold out shows, particularly before we’ve actually opened the doors.“ said The Triffid’s John Collins.
