THE ZOO INSTALLS AIR CON AND CELEBRATES WITH HUGE ZOO YEARS EVE PARTY

After almost 30 sweltering summers, The Zoo is thrilled to announce that air conditioning has been installed at the iconic Brisbane venue.

The long-awaited installation has been a hot topic (pun intended) over the years, and while some may long for the sauna style moshpit, the majority will welcome the sweet sweet icy relief from the newly installed units.

Co-owner Shane Chidgzey says “In a sub-tropical city where temperatures soar over the summer months, we felt it was imperative for the installation to happen. We see it as a necessity for the health and wellbeing of our staff, punters, and of course the artists that perform at the venue. Boo, Cat, Pixie and I are incredibly happy that we were able to finally make it happen during the first year of our partnership.

To celebrate, The Zoo will throw a massive NYE party headlined by South Coast New South Wales garage-rockers, Pacific Avenue, joined by Melbourne based rock quintet LOSER, and trash-pop duo Sophisticated Dingo, along with a slew of incredible local acts including, Bad Neighbour, Blussh and Verum. Guest DJ sets from Being Jane Lane and free karaoke till the wee hours will make for an absolutely thrashing NYE party.
