A temple of live music

Altar

Altar is a temple of live music, in the heart of Nipaluna / Hobart. A space to embrace the night, where the lights are low and spirits are high.

ABOUT

A love letter to our city's thriving music scene, Altar hosts a genre-spanning slate of live shows within its unholy walls, as well as recurring events. First opened for Dark Mofo 2019, Altar embodies the deep, dark roots of In The Hanging Garden's cultural precinct—it's a place to lose sleep, where there's always music in the air.

Accessibility

Level 1 of Altar, including the bandroom is fully accessible with an accessible toilet. Accessible entry is via the chevron laneway on 112 Murray Street. Unfortunately at this time, Level 2 is only accessible by stairs.

There is braille signage and tactile ground surface indicators throughout the venue.

Opening Hours

Friday + Saturday, 7pm–3am
