The Tivoli, Entertainment venue in Fortitude Valley, Queensland, Australia
The Tivoli is a live music venue in Fortitude Valley, Brisbane, Queensland, with two stages spread across different levels of the building. Each stage has its own lighting setup and nearby bars, allowing smaller and larger events to run separately under the same roof.
The building opened in 1917 as a family bakery and changed hands and uses several times across the 20th century, including a period as a library. It was eventually converted into a music venue, which it has remained ever since.
The Tivoli draws a mix of local music followers and visitors who come for international touring acts, making the crowd itself part of the experience. Fortitude Valley, where the venue sits, is known as Brisbane's main live music district.
The Tivoli sits in the heart of Fortitude Valley, which is easy to reach on foot from central Brisbane. The surrounding streets have many places to eat and drink, so it is easy to plan something before or after a show.
Despite the building being nearly a century old, original art deco details were kept during its conversion into a music space and are still visible on the walls and ceiling today. These features sit right next to modern sound equipment, making the contrast easy to spot during any show.
