The Brisbane Powerhouse is a premier contemporary multi-arts centre located in a repurposed industrial tram power station in New Farm. Situated right on the banks of the Brisbane River, this iconic building retains its rugged industrial aesthetic, featuring exposed brickwork and graffiti art. The venue hosts over 1,200 performances annually, including theater, comedy, dance, music, and visual arts.

Beyond the stage, the Powerhouse offers two onsite restaurants and bars with stunning river views, making it a popular spot for dining and socializing. The surrounding New Farm Park provides a beautiful backdrop for visitors to enjoy before or after a show. As a hub for creativity, the Powerhouse supports local and international artists, pushing the boundaries of contemporary performance. Its unique blend of history, culture, and scenic location makes it one of Brisbane’s most beloved lifestyle destinations, offering something for everyone in a vibrant, creative atmosphere.
