The details, in daylight
The Damned played The Tivoli in Brisbane on 11 September 2026. This show has already taken place — see The Damned's page on KeenToGo for their upcoming dates.
The Tivoli is an indoor theatre, music venue and event space at 52 Costin Street in Fortitude Valley, Brisbane, with a standing capacity of 1,560 and the nickname The Tiv. The building opened in 1917 as Adams Bakery and was later used by the State Library of Queensland to store rare books, before Ann Garms turned it into the Tivoli Restaurant and Theatre for Expo 88, modelled on the Paradis Latin in Paris; it opened in August 1989 with Putting on the Ritz. After being earmarked for development it was bought in 2016 by brothers Steve and Dave Sleswick, and it still retains its art deco features. Powderfinger, The Go-Betweens, Bob Dylan, Shirley Bassey, Marianne Faithfull, Belle and Sebastian and Taylor Swift have all played the room. The Damned released the first UK punk single, New Rose, in 1976, then invented goth with Phantasmagoria — and are still gleefully touring the chaos.
