Floodlights gig was awesome! Victorian architecture venue, electric blue light backgrounds, and a super cool light show on stage. Such a perfect mix for the nite. Expensive drinks. Just like every other big venue...
Great Venue in a great location. No stress getting into the Forum. The venue was clean and comfortable. Parking is very easy and for those who cannot afford a car Flinders st station is a very short walk. 3 bars if you are a drinker or thirsty. Toilets where clean and easy to find. The gate staff also did a solid job quickly getting people in. Furthermore George Thorogood and the Destroyers where exceptional.
Great venue, we saw Max Mcknown. Love this place. The blue roof is awesome, good size. Could do with some casual seating though
The Forum Melbourne is hands-down one of the most atmospheric venues in the city. With its stunning architecture, gorgeous lighting, and warm, inviting ambiance, it strikes that sweet spot between intimate club gigs and massive arena shows. It’s just the right size – big enough to feel the crowd’s energy, but small enough to stay connected to the performance. The sound is consistently solid, and the vibe feels special the moment you walk in. Caught Supergrass here recently, and it was solid – the perfect blend of nostalgia and electric live energy, elevated by a venue that knows how to do shows right. Whether you’re seeing a band you love or discovering someone new, the Forum always delivers something memorable.
A world class venue in the truest sense of the world. Perfect location, with a beautiful interior. The bar lines always flow quickly and drinks are not completely overpriced. Sound is always on point and there are great viewpoints from around the whole theatre. Been coming here for years and it is always top class.
