Brisbane Powerhouse

Brisbane Powerhouse is Queensland’s home for contemporary culture, a magnificent power station of the 1920s reborn as an arts centre on the Brisbane River.

With over 1,250 performances and events each year, one of the busiest arts venues in the Asia-Pacific region. They offer a year-round program featuring events across music, comedy, Writers+Ideas, dance, film, visual arts, cabaret, circus, and theatre.

Brisbane Powerhouse features two main stage theatres and three additional performance venues, gallery spaces, two restaurants and bars, corporate facilities and one of the best river views in Brisbane. This iconic building is a cultural landmark recognised and loved for its legacy of graffiti – or what is now officially known as heritage-listed ‘aerosol art’.

The Brisbane Powerhouse produces some of Queensland and Australia’s largest events, including Brisbane Comedy Festival, Australian Performing Arts Market, Queensland Cabaret Festival, MELT: A Festival of Queer Arts and Culture, and Wonderland.

The Brisbane Powerhouse has a great range of FREE events, look at what’s on this month here.
