For a long time Brisbane
has been known as
“Brisvegas” and all for good
reason. This is a city that never
sleeps. Brisbane is lucky to host
some of the very best festivals
and events. You can enjoy some
of the best food, alcohol, music,
culture and sport that Australia
has to offer. From the family
friendly celebrations like Paniyiri
to the alcohol infused festivals
like Future Music Festival, there
is something for everyone. The
regions around Brisbane such
as the Gold Coast, Sunshine
Coast and Ipswich are not to
be forgotten as they play host
to some of the finest cultural
celebrations.
If you love music then Brisbane
is the place to be. No matter
what type of music you are into
Brisbane has a festival or event
to celebrate it.
The following pages are just a
little snap shot of what Brisbane
will showcase in the coming
year. So keep your diary handy
and ears open to make the
most out of what Brisbane has
to offer.
Music Festivals
Big Day Out
Gold Coast
A must for all to experience, the
Big Day Out is one of Australia’s
biggest touring music festivals.
Each year the day-long event
showcases some of the best
local and international talent.
Besides the many performance
stages there are a number of
food and drink stalls to keep
you refreshed in the heat of the
summer sun. Although quite
expensive, it is one event that
Queenslanders over fifteen
years of age look forward to
each year.
