In case you hadn’t heard, big events are back! Among them is Let the Music Play, the largest ticketed single-day festival in the history of the Fortitude Valley. It makes its triumphant return to Brisbane’s entertainment precinct this August.
Such a massive event needs a massive lineup and Let the Music Play doesn’t disappoint. Think Northeast Party House, Thundamentals, Wafia, Jesswar, Mash’d N Kutcher encouraging you to get on the beers, and heaps more. You’re also going to love Warner Street’s makeover as Unicorn Alley, an inclusive new space helmed by DJ and Fluffy promoter Harry K. Think drag queens, street performers, a whole lot of colour, and some fabulous disco tunes.
“We are proud to be able to announce the return of Let The Music Play,” confirmed Mark Gibbons, the event’s co-curator and head of programming at the Fortitude Music Hall. “After a critical few years for the live music industry, it is our duty to continue to support the Fortitude Valley, Brisbane live music venues, and the creative arts. This event honours past and present partygoers that frequent our creative spaces and show collective resolve against whatever the next obstacles thrown at us are – be it fire, flood, plague.”
Let the Music Play is so big that it’s going to take four venues to handle the stacked lineup. Catch it from 3 pm on August 13 at the Fortitude Music Hall, The Zoo, Brightside Outdoors, and Warner Street. Tickets are on sale via Ticketmaster now.
