Brisbane is mostly known for Bluey, breweries, and the brown snake river, but it’s also an up and coming live music spot, with more and more venues hosting big name acts and local stars alike—a trend that’s only going to increase. Short of trawling through endless gig guides it can be hard to keep track of who’s coming and when, however—so we’ve done it for you, and cherry picked all the unmissable Brisbane concerts coming up this year.

November Concerts In Brisbane
Sweet
Flares. Blonde mullets. Denim vests. We’re talking about British national treasure, Sweet, of course. These glam rockers are gracing The Princess Theatre with a night of sweaty rock, high energy and soaring vocals from Brian Connolly himself. If you have no idea who these icons are, treat the parents to a night of 70s nostalgia and snag some brownie points!

Hozier
We don’t need to introduce this Irishman, but if you have been living under a rock, Hozier is everything folk-lore and ethereal—to say the very least. His Unreal Unearth tour is heading to Riverstage for the dreamiest night. Tickets have sold out, but if you sign up to the waitlist you’ll be first to know about added tickets (we have our fingers crossed for you).
