Fatboy Slim Is Coming To Brisbane For Riverfront Concert Series On The Banks 2027

 

Forget stuffy concert halls; here in Brisbane/Meanjin we’re lucky to enjoy sun-soaked days perfect for grooving under the sky which is why we’re obsessed with the On The Banks outdoor live concert series—bringing a stellar lineup of international and Australian acts to South Bank’s Cultural Forecourt.

On The Banks will once again transform the green space into a vibrant live music venue from February to March 2027, complete with bars and catering on the Brisbane River. With the city skyline as your backdrop and a melting pot of alternative, pop, garage, R&B, and hip-hop sounds on the stage, it’s definitely a welcome addition to Brisbane’s thumping live music scene.

First announced on the lineup is Grammy and BRIT Award-winning DJ Fatboy Slim, who will be taking over the cultural forecourt on 10 March.
