Brisbane's Eventful Week: From Music Legends to the Silver Screen

This week, Brisbane hosts an array of exciting events including performances from '90s music icons Matchbox Twenty and the Chemical Brothers. Fans of alternative rock and electronic dance music will be hard-pressed to choose between these two stellar concerts taking place on the same evening. Alongside these musical giants, Brisbane offers an experience for psychedelic film and music enthusiasts with showings of the magical tale Claire, based on a Japanese fairytale, and the finale of the epic sci-fi movie Dune.

For the Music Lovers

Brisbane's musical scene thrives with further options such as the compelling planetarium rendition of Pink Floyd's The Dark Side of the Moon, which combines the album's iconic tracks with astonishing cosmos visuals. This unique show is nearing the end of its run, so it's a perfect time to witness the spectacle. Additionally, there are other musical acts throughout the week including Norway's Kings of Convenience, along with a Pink Floyd tribute concert and a Memphis indie rock band, The Band Camino. To top it off, the week will also feature Naomi Prince's lauded Adele tribute show, Rumour Has It, complete with guest vocalists and a full band covering smash hits.

Cultural Enthusiasts Rejoice

Brisbane's cultural offerings continue with an art exhibition celebrating the 50th anniversary of Philip Bacon's gallery, presenting prized works from his personal collection. Theatre goers can enjoy performances of Disney's Beauty and the Beast at QPAC, and a modern take on the play Gaslight. For film aficionados, the Oscar-winning drama Moonlight is showing as part of the Cine-vault program, and the much-anticipated Dune: Part Two hits cinemas.

Events and Experiences

The city also offers a wide range of other events including the Brisbane's Annual Wedding Expo for soon-to-be couples, an International Women's Day Lunch and Fashion Parade to celebrate and empower women, and a chance to revisit the big screen with a live musical performance during the screening of Claire.

All these events bring a vibrant mix of art, music, film, and immersive experiences, promising something memorable for everyone in Brisbane this week.
