Live Nation opens TIDES Hong Kongs First Mid-sized Music Venue

Live Nation has unveiled TIDES, a brand-new 1,500-capacity live music venue set to open soon in Kowloon. Purpose-built for the demands of today’s touring landscape, TIDES is Hong Kong’s only mid-sized venue with fully integrated production capabilities and touring-grade infrastructure.

Named in homage to the sea and the area’s maritime history, TIDES is located on 1/F and U1/F of the iconic, ship-shaped Whampoa complex and was designed entirely in-house by Live Nation.

Stephanie Bax, President of Venue Development Asia at Live Nation, commented: “TIDES gives international and local 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.”

Lisa Hui Ping-Sum, Chairlady of Hong Kong Performing Industry Association, said: “A thriving performing industry is at the heart of what makes Hong Kong such a dynamic and inspiring place to live. The launch of TIDES can help nurture local talent and enhance the performance scene in Hong Kong.”

With an efficient setup that enables high event turnover, TIDES is projected to host up to 250 event days annually. Open to all event organizers seeking a modern, mid-sized venue, TIDES welcomes not only concerts but also brand activations, corporate functions, and mid-scale productions, offering a versatile platform for promoters and sponsors to connect with diverse audiences year-round.
