The Met Nightclub Is Up For Sale

Founder and Publisher. Based in Brisbane.
Howard launched 'Scene Magazine' in 1993. Paul Keating was Prime Minister. Whitney, Janet and Mariah all had Aussie #1s and Mark Zuckerberg was 9. Over 30 years he's overseen the growth of scenestr to become Australia's largest – and only national – street press while forging a digital-first imperative in the mid-naughties. Social media remains a complete mystery to him. He's been spotted at raves, hip hop concerts, Motown revivals, judged battle of the bands, shot video for opening night and national awards red carpet, partnered with music industry showcases, comedy festivals and myriad other cultural productions ... and he interviewed Eddie Izzard. He likes Star Trek and a good Oxford comma — way too much fun at parties.

Brisbane’s The Met nightclub is for sale.


The Met opened in November 2006 and has hosted electronic dance music acts including Propellerheads, Skrillex, Hardwell and Steve Aoki.

Owner Trent Meade said, “It is the right time to exit with the business extremely profitable, and still offering enormous upside for the next operator.” Mr Meade and Matt Blythe also own The GPO Hotel in Fortitude Valley, and are selling to move into the food-and-beverage market, with a new CBD venue opening next year.

It is believed the venue last changed hands for upwards of $3,000,000. Expressions of interest for the close 22 November, unless sold prior.

Propellerheads opened The Met in 2006. We don't think Shirley Bassey was with them.
