The Riverstage is an outdoor amphitheatre in the City Botanic Gardens. I have been there about half a dozen times, most recently to see the Foo Fighters flood relief concert.

Tickets normally comprise two categories of reserved seating on the flat part immediately in front of the stage, and then general admission on the grass up the hill (a nice place to spread out with a picnic rug).

I've usually sat within the first 10 rows, and have generally had no complaints. I stood halfway up the hill for the Foo Fighters, and again, the sound and view was all good.

My only complaint with the actual concert was when I saw Roxy Music there earlier this year - I was a few rows from the front and off to the side and the sound was pretty poor. I'm not sure if it was just the sound that night, or if it was because we were rather close to the speakers, but I'll be trying for something more in the centre to hopefully avoid any problems. In saying that, I could make out Stevie's songs through a stampede of chainsaw-carrying elephants, so I doubt it'll matter

In terms of food, drinks etc., the venue's rather limited and the lines can be long, but I wouldn't expect it to be sold out so not so much of an issue.

On a beautiful December day it should be fantastic. Just keep your fingers crossed that the rain holds off!

Thanks for the heads up, I'm really surprised with not only her performing at Brisbane's Riverstage venue, but Mornington racecourse, ACT & Wollongong.. I'm pretty sure most of these venue's will be a first for Stevie's Solo concerts???? Risky & very strange indeed, esp Mornington being a far distance from the city of Melb So tickets go on sale on the 6th July, fingers crossed for a great 3rd row middle seat!!! im so excited & cant wait to see Stevie perform some new songs from IYD's: & the rest of her amazing songs. My only concern is finding the venue without getting lost like i always seem to do when i venture into Brissy, and that we have a dry wet season, im hoping at least the stage is covered..

I'm surprised about the shows in Wollongong, Newcastle and Canberra too (although as a Canberran I think it's nice to see people share the love with our nation's capital). I wouldn't be surprised to see a few of them fall over - it seems a touch too ambitious (but of course I hope I'm wrong).

Mick played the Riverstage last year with his blues band, opening for Michael McDonald and Boz Scaggs - I wonder if he's said good things about it to Stevie? It was actually a dog of a night he played, torrential rain and everything for part of the show, but it really is a lovely venue. (The stage is covered, and if the wind holds off, the first few rows are generally safe too.)

The stage is just a short stroll through the botanic gardens, so very handy if you're staying in the city. The directions through the gardens aren't great (if present at all, come to think of it), but you can usually just follow the masses.

Would you believe I'm just about to head off camping in the Northern Territory for two weeks and am going to miss the onsale date? I'm leaving very tight instructions with my mother, but I wish I could do it myself. She's actually terrified of doing it wrong, so I'll probably also have to leave soothing messages of comfort in case things go pear-shaped
