Riverstage: A Brief History

Riverstage is an outdoor entertainment venue located within the City Botanic Gardens. This 2-hectare site has a capacity of 9,500 patrons. 

It was officially opened on 7 September, 1989 by Lord Mayor Sallyanna Atkinson. Over the last three decades, Riverstage has been the venue of more than 400 performances.

To celebrate its 30th birthday, locals were encouraged to participate in the Audience Memory Box survey, to help decide the top 30 Riverstage gigs in 30 years.

Brisbane residents were asked to name their top 5 gigs that they have seen at the iconic venue and local rockers Powderfinger topped the list with their 2010 Sunsets Farewell Tour.
