Let the music take control this September!

Share

Music transforms life’s experiences. From the everyday moments to the momentous ones, it is music that lifts, consoles, amplifies and unites us.

Whether it's the songs of Bob Dylan reimagined into Broadway theatre for Girl From The North Country, the power of 9 dancers moving to the beat of 9 drummers in Manifesto, or the hottest new rap artists spitting fire from iconic Brissy rooftops and parklands, there are so many incredible music moments to immerse yourself in at Brisbane Festival this Sep.

Here are just a few of the incredible artists to wrap your ears around this year.

Australian pop stars Jessica Mauboy and PAULINI hit all the right notes!

Soaring vocals and dance-inducing disco from this line-up of superstars! Revel in Jessica Mauboy's hottest hits as she lights up opening night in South Bank Piazza; immerse yourself in astonishing new opera The Call, composed by Brisbane's own Kate Miller-Heidke (with Connor D'Netto), and don't miss disco inferno Queen's Wharf Disco Wonderland featuring PAULINI.

Alice Ivy, Mo'Ju and more soundtrack the city's most unique on-water bar and floating experience!

By sunrise or sunset, Brisbane's Art Boat returns for a celestial floating art experience like no other with a full performance program featuring multi-instrumentalist Alice Ivy, singer-songwriter Mo'Ju, art-rock band Moreton, Camerata, folk band MZAZA and so many more who will amaze you as you cruise down the Maiwar.

Climb sky high with Patience Hodgson and Jesswar as they take over iconic rooftops around Brisbane!

Patience Hodgson, former frontwoman of indie rock band The Grates, creates a razzle-dazzle rooftop with some of her closest musical mates for a ritzy party that promises to be as big on heart as it is on glitter.

Or perhaps rap rebel Jesswar is more your vibe, who, along with some of the country's freshest musical acts will create a sound, art and movement experience to transport you to another world - a utopia.

Curated around a single colour palette, the only way in is to follow your roof's theme as YOU are the missing piece in this rooftop revelry.
