Summer of music to rock Brisbane Showgrounds

More than 9,000 music lovers descended on the Brisbane Showgrounds on Sunday (4th October) as Listen Out brought the curtain up on a summer of music.

Thousands attended the increasingly popular music venue to see local and international dance music acts including Childish Gambino, Alison Wonderland, SBTRKT and Golden Features.

Listen Out was the first of many music festivals on the Showgrounds’ busy spring/summer calendar with Australia’s largest German festival, the popular Oktoberfest Brisbane, to return to the Showgrounds for the eighth year in a row as of the coming weekend.

Festival fever will continue with Stereosonic, Soundwave and St Jerome’s Laneway Festival once again featuring in this summer’s festival line-up.

RNA Chief Executive Brendan Christou believes that the Brisbane Showgrounds are the perfect venue for these type of events, stating “the Showgrounds is one of the nation’s top music venues, with some of the best festivals being held here over the coming months.

“We are thrilled these festivals keep returning to the Brisbane Showgrounds, with Listen Out returning for its second year and Oktoberfest for its eighth.”

The 22 hectare Brisbane Showgrounds precinct is located just 1.5 kilometres from Brisbane’s CBD and is Queensland’s largest indoor/outdoor events site.
