Live Nation to Open New Venue in Hong Kong
Live Nation has announced the upcoming opening of TIDES, a new 1,500-capacity live music venue in Kowloon.
Located on the first floor of the Whampoa complex, the purpose-built venue is designed to meet the needs of today’s touring market, offering integrated production facilities, touring-grade infrastructure, and flexible staging.
It is positioned as Hong Kong’s only mid-sized venue with fully built-in sound and lighting systems.
According to Live Nation, the space is intended to provide an additional option for promoters and artists, supporting efficient event setup and high turnover, with the capacity to host up to 250 event days each year.
The venue will be available for concerts, brand activations, corporate functions, and other mid-scale productions.
Stephanie Bax, President of Venue Development Asia at Live Nation, commented: “TIDES gives Hong Kong promoters and artists a much-needed alternative. The design prioritizes efficient setup, making it seamless for acts to include Hong Kong in their tour plans. With integrated production and a layout built for audience connection, the venue offers both international and local artists a professional platform to grow their fan base.”
The design, handled in-house by Live Nation, includes artist support areas and a lounge space for pre- and post-show use. The company stated that the venue aims to serve both international and local acts, as well as offer partnership opportunities for brands and sponsors engaging with Hong Kong’s live entertainment sector.
TIDES is named in reference to the city’s maritime heritage and is set to open soon.
