Music fans can look forward to regular live entertainment at Festival Hall with the Melbourne venue opening its doors again to local and overseas artists.
Festival Hall’s “chicken wire” between the seats and floor is gone, the white ceiling has been painted black and a new sound system has been installed as part of upgrades to the venue.The Heritage Council found the building was a place of cultural heritage to Victoria because it was the only major “purpose-built boxing and wrestling venue to physically demonstrate the long-term history of these sports in the state”.
“Backstage areas have been upgraded for artists, and we’ve put in a new sound system. I’m very pleased to say the dreaded chicken wire, as we call it, has also been removed from between the seating areas and the floor. “We’re renowned the world over for our live music industry, a huge driver of our nighttime economy ... and it’s time for me to get back there,” Cr Capp said.
“About six years after that concert I was headlining here with Jet, and Davey was in the support band ,” Wilson said. “So, it’s a special place ... and we’re back again.”
