Live Nation will convert part of The Whampoa shopping centre in Hung Hom into 1,500-capacity music venue, boosting city’s concert economy
The organiser that brought popular bands Coldplay and Blackpink to Hong Kong will fill a “venue gap” by opening a new mid-sized concert space this autumn, adding to the city’s efforts to develop a mega-event economy.
Live Nation’s president of venue development in Asia, Stephanie Bax, said on Wednesday that the company would convert a part of The Whampoa, the ship-shaped shopping centre in Hung Hom, into a live music venue with a standing capacity of 1,500 called “Tides”.
“People come to Hong Kong for many reasons but they stay for the energy and that’s so important when you’re throwing live events,” she said. “We want to tap into that energy, so Hong Kong just seemed like an obvious choice.”
