The Best Places For Live Music In Brisbane

Whether you’re into unearthing the next big thing in Brisbane‘s music scene, or listening to superstars up close, Brisbane has a music venue to suit every taste. From intimate bars to larger theatres, your ears will be humming after a night out.

1. Tivoli

A Brisbane institution, The Tivoli is known for its intimate theatre setting which attracts some of the best local and international artists in the world including Bob Dylan, Katy Perry, Death Cab For Cutie, Powderfinger and Taylor Swift. It’s also only a hop, skip and a jump away from some of the city’s best bars, which means the fun can continue well after the music stops.

2. The Triffid

Still reasonably new to Brisbane’s music scene, The Triffid offers an amazing live music experience for all who visit and play at this industrial venue. Set in an old WWII aircraft hangar in the middle of Newstead, it’s also home to an outdoor beer garden.

3. Sonny’s House of Blues

If blues, jazz, ska and rock & roll are your jam, Sonny’s House of Blues is for you. Not only does it have moody live music, but an impressive menu for when that late night hunger kicks in. Think dim lighting, great music and delicious cocktails. But, would we expect anything less from the people behind Lefty’s Old Time Music Hall?!
