Riverside Theatre

Perth’s largest tiered theatre, built for moments of awe.

The Riverside Theatre is the largest tiered theatre venue in Perth, with seating for up to 2,500 guests across a single auditorium. From international concerts and comedy shows to corporate keynotes and product launches, it’s a multi-purpose Perth theatre venue built for big audiences and bigger moments.

A 10-metre ceiling and 1,000 square metres of covered staging area allow for ambitious production design, supported by full back-of-house operations, a dedicated goods entrance, rigging points and loading bays.

Located steps from Elizabeth Quay Train Station, the central location makes getting crowds in and out of the venue smooth and easy.
