The Valley Drive In — Irrigation in Fortitude Valley, QLD

Good place for a show, but it needs some kind of seating and a time that the band starts, we got here when doors open but they didn't play for an hour and half later. My husband is unable to stand for long periods due to army injuries, disppointingly we had to leave in the middle of the show, but we would've loved to stay. It wouldn't hurt to have some roofing either.

I don't get the negative reviews - this place is a great venue! It's nice to have an open air venue for smaller shows that don't end up at Riverstage etc. The bands that I have seen there don't seem bothered by the smaller stage either - and it provides a great atmosphere. I've never had any trouble getting in or out, or getting drinks, even at sold out shows. I hope this place continues to score the tours it has been, and becomes a mainstay of the Brisbane scene

I had expected the worst of this place after reading previous reviews. Turns out it wasn't so bad at all. Good little space for The Tea Party show I saw there. It wasn't at all overcrowded and getting drinks was easy, The band sounded great, and the weather was perfect. I can see how it would suck if it was packed beyond capacity but luckily I didn't have to experience that. Decent place to see a band, I'd go again.

First time going to this place was to see the Max and Igor Cavalera show and I have to say what a terrible venue it is. You have to work your way through the crowd as it's cramped up with piss all room to move. The sound was just horrible and quite low too. I definitely won't be returning to a show here regardless of who plays. Also when leaving the show it is a slow moving crowded process it was just crazy, Brisbane's most atrocious venue for sure!!!

Just watched Twelve Foot Ninja and have to say that this venue was horrible. No drainage what so ever and no undercover area to get out of the rain. We were all two inches deep in water and I feel sorry for anyone that didn’t have a water proof phone. The band was incredible, but it took them almost an hour to decide whether or not they could proceed because the stage wasn’t fully closed off to the weather and it was puddling up. Massive issues that need to be fixed but so grateful for the band pushing through and delivering such an awesome performance.
