🏗️ Architectural Upgrades: A brand-new 5,000 sq ft mezzanine level, panoramic balcony views, a custom 360° stage/DJ booth setup, and brand-new custom toilet blocks.
Led by founders Laura Wellington & James Abbott-Donnelly in partnership with LWE & AMAAD, TESTBED 2.0 is focused on bringing world-class talent, live acts, and local creative projects under one roof.
