Set on the Geelong waterfront, our venue is Victoria’s newest purpose-built space for live performance , designed for audiences who expect more and for organisers who want a venue that works with them.

What is it about live music, comedy or performances by the water that makes it feel different?

New, coastal and thoughtfully designed, Nyaal Banyul is a place where shows feel elevated, organisers feel supported, and every detail from arrival to final applause is considered.

From major touring productions to stand-up comedy, screenings, live music and cultural showcases, our venue brings together technical readiness, considered hospitality and a waterfront location to support seamless event delivery.

Designed for Moments

Wala Mirr Theatre sits at the heart of live entertainment at Nyaal Banyul. Purpose-built for concerts, comedy, screenings and headline events, it seats up to 1,000 people in a room that feels intimate yet powerful.

Acoustics are crisp. Lighting is flexible. Technology is already in place. Performers benefit from well-planned backstage spaces, while our technical and operations teams provide the infrastructure and support needed to hit the ground running.

Spaces That Work the Way You Do

Not every show fits a traditional theatre, which is why we designed Delama Event Spaces to flex.

Delama A and B can be combined to create a large-format performance environment suited to touring productions, cultural showcases, fan experiences and special entertainment events . Used individually, each space supports smaller-scale or immersive formats.

These spaces scale, shift and transform based on the experience you want to create.

A Destination Audiences Want to Visit

Just an hour from Melbourne, Geelong blends coastal ease with city energy, framed by waterfront views, a growing food and arts scene, boutique accommodation and room to explore.

That sense of place changes how audiences engage. For events hosted at Nyaal Banyul, a ticket becomes more than a night out. It becomes a reason to stay, explore and make a weekend of it, adding value for organisers through stronger promotion, attendance and overall experience.

Food Worth Talking About

At Nyaal Banyul, food is part of the experience, not an afterthought. Our menus are shaped by local produce, seasonal flavour and generous hospitality, designed to support long days, late nights and everything in between.

From artist catering and green room refreshments to pre-show receptions and multi-day crew meals, our food offering is flexible, thoughtful and genuinely satisfying.

There is a strong sense of place on the plate too. Expect flavours drawn from Geelong, the Bellarine and across Victoria, shaped by what is fresh, in season and suited to the rhythm of live performance.
