2025 Brisbane Anywhere Festival
A festival of performances where Brisbane's undiscovered backyards, businesses, bus stops and warehouses become the stage, anywhere but where you'd expect it. From theatre on rooftops, warehouses and beaches, music in planetariums and backyards, comedy, immersive shows and performances popping up in bus stops all around Brisbane, there is no other festival that mixes the excitement of performance while discovering nooks and crannies of Brisbane. This event is proudly supported by Brisbane City Council. For more information, please visit the Brisbane Anywhere Festival website.

Good Songs; Bad Luck!
Presented by Indy Clark and the Brisbane Anywhere Festival, taking place at the Raven Hotel Cellar, West End, Good Songs; Bad Luck! is a celebration of 35 years of almost making it in the music business. Grab a drink, sit back, relax, and enjoy the best songs you’ve never heard.
Metamorphosis
Delivered as part of Anywhere Festival, Metamorphosis is a theatrical and audio-visual Kaleidoscope. Calvin Smith has written an altogether gut-wrenching and yet hilarious and inspiring work; an emotional rollercoaster. You will laugh, and cry, and discover together that, although there is much work to be done for men to transform into metaphorical “butterflies”, there is hope that we can mend men’s hearts and work together for a better world. Tickets are available through the Anywhere Festival website. Anywhere Festival is proudly supported by Brisbane City Council.
