Brisbane Festival

This year, the Festival moves with the rhythm of Brisbane itself. Inspired by Brisbane being the world’s earliest rising city, the program stretches from First Light through to After Dark.

Across every corner of the program — from theatre, music, dance, circus, and puppetry to intimate encounters and large-scale spectacles — you will discover World Premieres, Australian Exclusives, and extraordinary artists from Queensland, across Australia, and around the globe.

Discover the full 2026 festival program now via the Brisbane Festival website.

Brisbane Festival is an initiative of the Queensland Government and Brisbane City Council.
