The new venue will be more than a concert space, also hosting community events and Mice events.Live music venues in Singapore will have a new addition come 2026, with the completion of concert promoter Live Nation’s 3,000-capacity music hall on Orchard Road after several years’ delay.
The Straits Times understands that the venue is now due to open in 2026, and that plans were scuppered by Covid-19-related factors, such as the availability of manpower and increases in construction costs, as well as changes related to constructing the venue about Somerset MRT.Live Nation did not reveal the cost of the development, but in 2020 the development project was estimated to cost around $10 million.
“The Fortitude Music Hall in Brisbane most closely resembles the concept of the Singapore venue, which was inspired by The Fillmore Philadelphia,” said Mr Greg Gillin, senior vice-president of venue development, Live Nation Asia, in response to queries from ST. The music hall will also have a smaller, 350-capacity space to host homegrown acts, as well as a cafe and bar.
“This venue will significantly increase the number of live events regularly touring through Singapore... By filling the gap for a mid-size venue, the venue will enhance the market’s world-famous touring landscape, providing more diverse options for both artists and audiences,” he said.
