Brisbane is the benefactor of a new music event Night In The Parklands off the back of the successful Sydney event Night at the Barracks.

Brisbane and Sydney will share the artists for 2025. Brisbane has a condensed line-up compared to the full Sydney program with both events getting underway in September.

On Night at The Barracks, Janet Carding, Executive Director of the Harbour Trust said, “We are excited to welcome visitors to experience the historic Barracks Precinct transformed into an open-air concert hall. The Harbour Trust are proud to once again be a venue partner with Night at The Barracks to make this a successful series a must-do for music fans across Sydney and beyond.”

Northern Beaches Mayor Sue Heins added, “It is great to see Night at The Barracks back again at such an iconic location on the Northern Beaches. Council is proud to continue its support of this popular event which brings so many people to the area, introducing them to our stunning area while boosting the local economy and supporting local businesses. This year’s line-up is looking amazing. What an incredible opportunity for our community, family, friends and visitors to experience world-class music under the stars this September and October.”

Regarding Night at The Parkland, Brisbane Festival’s Artistic Director, Louise Bezzina said today, “Brisbane deserves world-class music experiences in extraordinary settings, and Night at the Parkland delivers just that. We’re thrilled to welcome this epic outdoor concert series to Roma Street Parkland as part of Brisbane Festival. It’s going to be seven unforgettable nights under the stars.”

Brisbane Lord Mayor Adrian Schrinner said: “We’re thrilled for the iconic Roma Street Parkland Amphitheatre to open up its stage to a new era of music under the stars this September, as part of Brisbane Festival, bringing more to see and do across Brisbane.

Brisbane is Australia’s lifestyle capital and events like this mean more people visiting our city, boosting our economy, and supporting our thriving arts scene.”
