Power Moves:  An 80s Extravaganza

Defy gravity and climb sky high as we send out BrisFest 2022 in the company of the stars ๐Ÿ’ซ

RAISE THE ROOF 80s style with The Good Room at Iris Rooftop.

Caught between solid earth and the stars, youโ€™re invited into one of six universes filled with music, art, misfits and mayhem as the city's most vibrant artists carve out ethereal spaces on iconic Brisbane rooftops, each as unique and bespoke as the next.

POWER MOVES

Enter an 80s Fantasia where the only thing sharper than the shoulder pads, are the shapes being served on the dancefloor. Catch the elevator to a sky-high paradise filled with wet-look mermaids, oil-lacquered bodybuilders, Flashdance femme fatales, fake tattoo parlours, secret rooms and not-so-secret power moves.

This is one night in heaven for easy lovers and lonely hearts. Join us in a land that time forgot, to pay tribute to a synthesised soundtrack that history certainly did not.

Donโ€™t miss this extraordinary immersive evening, filled with art, music, good food and wine and great company. Your evening includes a 3 hour food and beverage package so grab your friends and your hairspray, make it a date night and Raise the Roof on BrisFest closing weekend at Power Moves: An 80s Extravaganza!

๐Ÿ’œCurated around a single colour palette, the only way into this sky-high paradise is to dress in Purple Rain Dynasty Realness๐Ÿ’œ

Featuring 

The Good Room with Flashdance Femmes and The Huxleys.
