Venue Hire · Northshore Hamilton

A blank canvas on the river.

A 1,700m² warehouse and a 3,100m² courtyard. 4,800m² 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 3,100m² 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.

A dimensioned 3D model of the warehouse and courtyard, built from the approved drawings — every measurement traces back to a set. Drag to look around, and switch it through the formats the room actually gets used for.

The Superordinary warehouse set up for a club show at night, seen from above with the roof removed — a full standing floor, beams and LED over the crowd, and the festoon-lit courtyard alongside.

Layouts · to scale

Set it up your way.

The empty floor
Clear industrial floor and open courtyard. Drive-in through three roller doors, nothing fixed but the bar.
Live Music
Indoor · Courtyard
Stage against the studio wall with the house rig overhead, or out on the container dome — which plays either way, or in the round with the crowd on both sides.
Markets & daytime
Stall rows across the floor with clothing rails, food trucks along the courtyard fence, and daylight through the polycarbonate band.
Corporate
Long table · Round table
Banquet down the length of the room or 1.8 m rounds of ten, with the house rig, a screen and a lectern on the stage.
Theatre
Banked rows to the stage at the studio end, three blocks with aisles either side and the bar left clear.
Gallery & exhibition
Free-standing walls split the floor into rooms without touching the shell, and the shed’s own walls hang work too.

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.

Compliance

The paperwork is our problem.

Licensed premises, in-house production, security planning and noise management sit with the venue. You bring the show and your event's public liability cover; the rest of the compliance load stays on our side of the roller door. Details for promoters on enquiry.

Parking

A large free car park sits directly adjacent to the venue, alongside free street parking on MacArthur Avenue.

Accessibility

Superordinary is accessible in all areas, including a disabled access bathroom.

Getting here + home

We are on the riverfront at Northshore Hamilton: CityCat, bus, or a short drive or rideshare from Fortitude Valley and the CBD. Late at night, rideshare picks up at the door on MacArthur Avenue, and the free car park keeps designated drivers close.
