Empire Music Studios offers a unique multi-studio and multi events space built within a large 1250sqm warehouse.
Perfect for music-themed parties and events, private concerts, album launches, music industry parties, corporate events, team building and workshops.

With two stages, complete in-house sound and lighting, three grand pianos, a photography studio, bar and a catering kitchen.
Empire can cater for all kinds of parties, concerts and events with that cool music industry vibe and that red carpet touch.
We also provide photographers and video services along with catering, bar staff and security. We have a variable liquor licence for our own events but can also allow outside access to Event companies and caterers with an external liquor licence.

Empire is a fully commercial recording studio facility by day but can readily transform into a club-like atmosphere and provide live music both on the main stage in Studio A as well as in the front lounge bar area.
Empire has a flat easy load-in and has facilities for wheelchair access and for people of differing needs. As a bonus, there is plenty of easy un-restricted parking available right nearby.
