PICA is a park-style event space set within a repurposed industrial complex in Port Melbourne—keeping the raw feel of high ceilings and wide thoroughfares while letting production and staging transform it into a high-impact destination for concerts, DJ showcases, and festivals. That mix of industrial architecture and open-plan scale is what makes the venue stand out on Melbourne’s live-events map.
Inside, the experience is built around a large, flexible footprint that adapts to each setup—from dense standing crowds to zoned areas with bars and food points. With clear sightlines and a robust structure, attention stays where it should: on the performance, punchy sound, and crowd energy.
For micro-location, the Address is 1 Thackray Rd, Port Melbourne VIC 3207, Melbourne, Australia.
