Based on their Melbourne concert, you can expect Trials at 7:20pm, Maverick Sabre around 8pm, and Hilltop Hoods around 9pm (all times are approximate and subject to change). 

How To Get There (And Home Again)

The easiest way to get to the Brisbane Entertainment Centre is from Boondall Station on the Shorncliffe line. From there, it’s around a 600m walk to the Centre which can often be a vibe with your fellow fans. 

If you prefer to drive, parking at Brisbane Entertainment Centre is $18 per visit (card only) so car pooling is recommended. Be warned though, exiting the car park after the show is quite the waiting game so bringing snacks won’t go astray. 

Pro tip: leaving just before the final encore can save you serious time if you’re not emotionally attached to the last song.

What To Wear And What To Bring

Brisbane Entertainment Centre is an indoor venue so Brisbane’s torrential weather at the moment shouldn’t put a damper on your experience. If you want to bring an umbrella for the commute, just make sure it’s no larger than 300mm when in the closed position.
