Hamer Hall

Hamer Hall is a concert venue sitting beside the Yarra River in Southbank with a modern building design and large seating capacity. The main auditorium holds around 2500 people across multiple levels, with additional performance spaces inside.

The venue opened in 1982, designed by architect Roy Grounds as part of the Arts Centre Melbourne complex. Its construction reflected the city's growing commitment to establishing world-class cultural facilities during that era.

The hall draws music lovers from across the city who gather to hear orchestras and soloists perform everything from classical symphonies to modern compositions. It has become a natural meeting place where people connect through their shared love of live performance.

The venue can be entered from the Southbank Promenade or St Kilda Road, both offering easy access to public transportation nearby. Clear signage throughout helps visitors find their way to the main entrance and different performance areas.

Floor-to-ceiling glass panels frame views of the Yarra River, allowing audiences to see the water and surrounding landscape during performances. This connection between inside and outside creates an unusual sense of spaciousness within the concert hall.
