Who this works for

If you run a night, we want to hear from you.

You don't need a venue empire. You need a crowd, a vision and the chops to deliver. We've worked with all of these.

Music

DJ collectives + record labels

House, techno, jungle, jazz, soul, ambient, anything in between. Bring your residents, your crew, your faithful following.

Comedy

Comedy promoters + festival hubs

Open mics, line-up nights, residencies, MICF & Fringe runs. Platform Infinity is the most distinctive intimate comedy room in Melbourne.

Community

Social + queer-friendly groups

Themed nights, book clubs that turned into parties, queer-coded everything, niche scenes. We celebrate the weird.

Hospitality

Pub crawl + bar tour operators

Slot us into your route as the headline stop. We can do welcome drinks, themed cocktails, dedicated rooms for your group.

Live music

Indie music promoters

Touring bands, album launches, single launches, support sets. Two stages, full PA, lighting rigs you don't need to hire.

Brand

Brand activations + launches

Take over a themed room — or the whole venue — for an experience that won't look like every other warehouse activation.

Why us

Why bring your night here.

Six reasons promoters come back. Most are about saving you time and friction.

Seven themed rooms = built-in differentiation

Your night doesn't look like every other Brunswick warehouse. Run an intimate gig in Bio-Cycle. Headline a tight 30-seater in Platform Infinity. Take the rooftop trains for a launch. The room becomes part of the marketing.

Full bar staff and AV included

No supplier coordination. No hire fees for sound. No "where do we get glassware". Trained bartenders, mics, PA, lights, projector — already there.

Our community shows up too

We promote your night to our mailing list and Instagram alongside your own marketing. No extra fee. Your audience plus ours.

Residencies welcome

Run a weekly Tuesday or a monthly Saturday. Build a regular crowd. We give residency rates that beat one-offs.

A real venue host on-site

Someone from our team runs the night with you. You focus on the talent and the door. We focus on glassware and pacing.

You keep your audience

You own the email list, the door takings, the relationship. We're the venue, not the booker. No one hides behind anyone.

The deal in plain numbers

A worked example.

Friday night on the Whole Rooftop. 120 capacity, $3,500 bar minimum target. Same room, three tiers — same night plays out three different ways.

You sell 100 tickets at $25$2,500 door revenue

Yours, clean. Booking fee + Stripe processing are paid on top by buyers and absorbed by us — they don't come off your ticket revenue.

Guests spend ~$50 each at the bar$5,000 bar take

Exceeds the $3,500 minimum by 43% — bonus tier unlocks.

Bar overage $1,500 · 10% bonus (BAR_BONUS or RESIDENCY)+$150 to you

10% of overage — paid on settlement within 7 days.

Bar Bonus tier total take$2,650

$2,500 ticket revenue + $150 bar bonus. Different tiers walk with different numbers — see below.

Same night, what each tier walks with: Standard $2,500 (no bonus), Bar Bonus $2,650 (+10% overage), Residency $2,650 plus a 20% lower bar minimum so the same crowd hits it more easily, and a 60-day priority booking window. Numbers are illustrative — actual figures depend on the night, room, headcount, ticket price, pour rate.

How the deal works

Three tiers. Earn your way up.

Every promoter starts on Standard. Successful nights — defined as hitting the bar minimum we set with you — graduate you up. Each tier reduces the bar-shortfall risk you carry and adds perks. The path from "first time pitching us" to "no shortfall risk ever" is three nights.

Where everyone starts

Standard

Your first night with us. No upfront money, no contract pressure. The deal: ticket revenue is yours, but if the bar falls short of the minimum the gap comes off your ticket revenue. Capped at $0 — you never owe us money.

  • No upfront room hire fee
  • Ticket revenue from Stripe checkout
  • Bar shortfall comes off ticket revenue (capped at $0)
  • Full venue support — bar staff, AV, host
3 successful events

Residency

Hit the bar minimum on three nights and you graduate to our top tier. Zero shortfall deduction — your ticket revenue is fully yours, regardless of how the bar goes. Plus the perks that make each night easier to land.

  • Everything in Bar Bonus
  • ★ NO shortfall deduction — full ticket revenue, always
  • 20% lower bar minimum
  • 60-day exclusive booking window
  • Co-marketing slot in our newsletter + Instagram

We set the bar minimum together when you book — based on the room, night of week, and headcount. Honest minimums make the deal fair on both sides. If you're not sure the room you want will hit the number, we'll suggest a different one.

What we ask of you

The fine print, plainly.

We do this hundreds of times a year. Some things we've learned to set up upfront so we're both clear from day one.

You provide the talent + draw

Acts, DJs, MCs, programming, lineup. Whatever your night needs to feel like itself.

Tickets sold through our portal

Approved promoters get a portal account — your event page, ticket types, live sales analytics, share assets, attendee list. We host the checkout (Stripe). For events at other venues, use whatever platform you like.

Bar minimum target tied to capacity + night

A weeknight gets a lower minimum than a Saturday. We'll send you the number for your specific room and date upfront.

No exclusivity inside the venue

You can't bring outside booze, outside bartenders, or outside ticketing. Catering and DJs you're welcome to bring (just loop us in early).

Insurance for special activations

For pyro, animals, large-scale brand stuff — you'll need event insurance. We'll tell you what's required.

Mutual cancellation respect

Same policy as private hire — full refund 7+ days out, 50% inside a week, deposit non-refundable inside 24 hours. We're flexible on rescheduling.
