The Triffid is a live-music venue in Newstead, built into a former World War II aircraft hangar. Its industrial shell, beer garden, and mid-sized room make it a strong place to catch touring acts without the scale of an arena.
It is worth adding to a Brisbane itinerary only if the calendar lines up with your music taste. If it does, combine it with Newstead or Fortitude Valley for an evening that feels more local than the riverfront sightseeing circuit.
