Undercover Artist Festival

Australia’s premier disability-led performing arts festival returns in 2025 with a bold, brilliant program ready to Push It! — pushing boundaries, pushing buttons, and pushing for change. For over a decade, Undercover Artist Festival has championed outstanding disability-led performing arts. This isn’t just another festival — it’s a movement. Be part of it!

Since its inception in 2015, Undercover Artist Festival has engaged over 600 artists and arts workers.  In partnership with Brisbane Festival, Queensland Theatre, and AbiliTV, the 2025 festival will deliver crowd-favourite acts alongside world premieres to celebrate ten years of excellence.

Enjoy the WunderSounds of headliner Emma Tomlinson’s pop-classical blend, supported by punk-rock SAMMM., and Nethra’s unique mix of Indian vocal flair and Western music.
