Brisbane Powerhouse

Brisbane Powerhouse is a contemporary arts and cultural hub set in a converted 1920s power station on the Brisbane River at New Farm. Its industrial architecture, graffiti layers, and riverfront setting create a distinctive backdrop for theatre, comedy, dance, and live music. The venue hosts major festivals, rotating exhibitions, and a popular weekend market, with on-site bars and restaurants and easy access via the New Farm Riverwalk or CityCat. It suits visitors seeking local and international performance, creative atmospheres, and striking heritage design, and offers scenic outdoor spaces, including a riverside lawn and adjacent New Farm Park.
