Great venue to watch a concert. Love this place. The staff are always friendly and cheerful and the security staff are very helpful. If you're able to splurge at least once for a booth seat, it makes for a better experience.

Saw In Flames. Really solid venue. I didn't have an accessibility seat reserved, but they gave me one for my wife and I. Really friendly staff. Easy to get a drink if you wanted. The merchandise line didn't move between acts, so we didn't end up getting any, as we couldn't attend the second band and wait around. This is not fault of the venue, however, just to note for next time.

Recently went to The Forum for Texas the Scotties Band with Shannen James as Opening act. Been there several times, overall very happy with the experience. The staffs were very friendly and kind. The security in front of the stage periodically giving water for Audience to prevent us from Dehydration. The Interior also pretty impressive with Roman Statues & Architecture. Strategic location, just walking distance from Flinders Street Station.

I recently had the pleasure of seeing Ocean Alley perform at the Forum Theatre in Melbourne, and it was an incredible experience. The Forum is a beautiful and historic venue, with a great atmosphere. The sound system is excellent, and the stage is perfectly sized for the room. Ocean Alley put on a show that didn't disappoint. The band played a mix of their old and new hits, and the crowd was singing along to every word. The energy in the room was electric, and it was clear that everyone was having a great time. The band's performance was flawless. They sounded amazing, and they were clearly having a blast on stage. Lead singe interacted with the crowd brilliantly. The other members of the band were also excellent, and they played their hearts out. Overall, I had an amazing time at the Forum Theatre seeing Ocean Alley. The venue, the sound, the crowd, and the performance were all top-notch. I highly recommend seeing a show at the Forum Theatre, especially if you're a fan of live music. Here are some of the things I loved about the show: The band's energy and stage presence were incredible. The sound system was excellent, and you could hear every instrument and vocal clearly. The crowd was singing along to every word, and the atmosphere was electric. The band played a mix of their old and new hits, and there was something for everyone. The band interacted with the crowd brilliantly, and it felt like they were really enjoying themselves.
