Brisbane Festival
BIGSOUND
Sweet Relief
Theatre, circus, music, comedy, visual interactive art and cabaret—get around the endless magic to witness at this year’s Brisbane Festival. Expect glitter, a little sleight of hand and stacks of outrageously clever performers across Brisbane City for three fabulous weeks only.
Composed by local legend Kate Miller-Heidke and Keir Nuttall, Bananaland (16 September - 1 October) follows 21-year-old idealist Ruby Semblance on her journey to create the best kid’s band ever after failing dismally on her mission to become a global rock sensation. Set to be one of the most sharp and uplifting shows of the season, people of all ages can share in the love.
Brisbane Festival
1 - 23 September, across various Brisbane locations
If you’re a romcom tragic, There’s Something About Music (1 - 10 September) is the ultimate feel-good festival treat dripping in nostalgia and big 90s energy. This love letter to romantic comedy soundtracks will have you belting out iconic tracks from Notting Hill, My Best Friend’s Wedding, Ten Things I Hate About You and Pretty Woman. Perfect for that long overdue gals' night out.
