Venue Hire · Northshore Hamilton

A blank canvas on the river.

A 1,700m² warehouse and a 2,200m² courtyard. 3,900m² for events that don't fit anywhere else.

The venue

Superordinary is a multi-arts space on the riverfront at Northshore Hamilton. We commandeered a 1,700m² industrial warehouse and its 2,200m² courtyard and turned them over to art, music and community. Festivals, exhibitions, club shows, markets, launches and weddings all run here.

Hire the floor and run your own build, or lean on our team for logistics, technical support and programming drawn from our resident artists. Multiple layouts, custom setups, and concurrently ticketed and open spaces are all possible. The palette is yours.

Layouts are a starting point. Ticketed and open spaces can run concurrently, stages can move, and the floor can be split with pipe and drape, container bars or gallery walls. Send us your run sheet and we'll draw the room around it.

In-house production

Production lives here.

The room comes wired. A resident Nexo PA, moving-head lighting rig, grandMA3 control, stage and CDJ-3000 DJ backline live in the venue, operated by Twisted Pair Productions, our in-house production partner.

Packages scale with your capacity and include operators. A 270kVA generator sits on standby on site for full-scale shows. You contract Twisted Pair direct and Superordinary adds no margin on production. The house system is the default, not a lock-in — bring your own supplier if you'd rather.
