What's on in Brisbane

Brisbane doesn’t just host events — we live and breathe them. From stadium-shaking sports to riverside festivals, gallery openings to gigs that go off, this city’s calendar is always stacked and never boring. Whether you're cheering from the sidelines or dancing in the front row, you’ll find something to stir your soul. Get amongst the action at NRL Magic Round, Brisbane International, or The Gabba’s legendary test matches. Or swap the sports shoes for stilettos at QPAC, QAGOMA, or South Bank’s cultural playground.

From the star-studded stages of Brisbane Festival to the big beats of BIGSOUND and the rainbow flair of Melt, this is a city that knows how to turn it on. And just beyond the skyline? Dive into stories that run deep at Quandamooka Festival or vibe out at Woodford Folk Festival under a canopy of stars.
