A rock-pop symphony of water, light, and sound.
Featuring an exclusive soundtrack from Brisbane music royalty The Veronicas!
Bright Nights by ANZ transforms the Brisbane River into a dazzling, choreographed canvas of water, light, and sound. Floating fountains, waterscreens, amazing animated water features and water jets shooting up to 80 meters high, all pierced by a stunning laser light show, this bold installation fills the Festival Village precinct with colour, energy and emotion.
The work pulses with a distinctly local energy, amplifying the spectacle’s emotional resonance and contemporary edge.
Commencing with a Welcome to Country and placemaking audio story told by Traditional Owner Yuggera and Turrbal man Shannon Ruska, Bright Nights by ANZ will be a nightly celebration and reflection upon Brisbane and its landmark River.
Enjoy this visual extravaganza with family and friends from the bridges or either side of the Brisbane River. For the best vantage points, visit the Festival Village in Southbank. Free shows three times nightly throughout the Festival.
