Live The Venue

Bio

Live The Venue is a family business owned by the Kingsland Family. They also run their own professional sound company called Kingston Sound, which specialises in live performances. The venue is a platform for performing arts - every event hosted at Live The Venue has to have a live entertainment element to it.

Live the venue is a converted warehouse, and the entire conversion was done by family members and members of the Kingston Sound Crew. No outside contractos were bought in on this job. From building decks to the installation of new toilet facilities and the sewing of over 2000m of velvet curtaining, Live The Venue certainly holds a place in the team's hearts.

The inspiration came from visiting a few venues in Durban and surrounding areas for live acts, and noticing they were other too cramped and not all the clients could see the performances, or on the other extreme, the venue would have a capacity of thousands and a few hundred would drown in its bareness. It was also noted that the quality of the sound in various venues was not up to scratch, and the atmosphere was often dark and depressing. Spotting a gap in the market, they teamed up with the professional crew at Kingston Sound and Slingshot Productions to put on top-class event in a new, vibrant, modern yet not pretentious environment, designed for talented bands and artists who deserve a platform to perform on.
