BananaHall is a standing live house with a capacity of roughly 500โ800, so expect a compact, energetic floor with a bar area โ cash is recommended for drinks at the venue. Doors usually open around 30โ60 minutes before showtime, so arriving early is advisable to get a good position near the stage. Bags larger than A4 size may need to be checked at the entrance, and photo and video policies vary by artist so check the official announcement before the show.
