The Marriage Of Figaro

July 15th - 31st 2021

It’s Figaro and Susanna’s wedding day but their boss, the Count, has other ideas, he too wants Susanna.

And so begins one of the greatest love stories ever told.

This is the opera that changed the direction of the art form. When it premiered in 1786 audiences were intrigued as they watched real people wrestling with feelings of desire, betrayal, remorse, unbridled lust... Feelings they knew well themselves.

The original title of the opera translates as, “Figaro’s Wedding or the Mad Day”, and from the first downbeat of the music, utter chaos unfolds with lusty boys dressed as girls, drunken gardeners, solicitous lawyers, mothers discovering long lost sons, forlorn wives, cheeky bridesmaids and...

At the centre is Susanna, coolly and brilliantly navigating the mayhem, ably supported by her husband to be.

This production sets the story in a time where what was understood as power is crumbling as a new world emerges. It could be 1786 or is it 2021?

A Big Dialogue

July 26th 2021

There is no doubt that the debate is warming up and is likely to get hotter as the year proceeds: time for The Brisbane Dialogues to conduct a cool, calm and collected discussion.

The dialogue will be framed along the lines of:

“We may never agree on a lot about climate change - like nature, causes, severity, urgency - but what might we agree to do about it in practical policy terms, e.g. on energy policy, green tech, funding, adaptation, conservation, development aid?”

This is not an event for those who want a scientific or political debate, or any debate. Our purpose, as always, is to hear three experts with very different views state and discuss their differences, certainly, but only as a lead-in to an exploration of common ground and possible agreed solutions.

Get a group together and join in the discussion, before, during and after the event!

Jimmy Barnes Flesh and Blood

July 28th 2021

Frontier Touring are excited to announce that Jimmy Barnes is set to hit the road in support of his forthcoming album Flesh And Blood. Over the last year hundreds of ‘at home’ performances by the Barnes clan attracted more than 100 million views on social media and helped inspire a slew of new songs as well.

“It’s great to be back playing live again”, says Jimmy. “It was good to get some downtime at home for a change but now we’re hungry to get back onstage together. If 2020 taught me anything it’s that Facebook and YouTube videos can be fun but they’re no substitute for a real gig.”

Flesh And Blood will be released on July 2 and is the twentieth studio album by Jimmy Barnes. He has enjoyed twelve solo chart toppers plus five with Cold Chisel taking his career tally to a record setting total of seventeen #1 albums.

Landscapes

July 29th 2021

Landscapes is a collection of music that portrays scenes, flavours and evocations of several places… that we can’t visit at this time. Instead, you can travel vicariously to Greece, England, Andalusia, through the music of Lennox Berkeley, the humour of Nikos Skalkottas and the well loved Rodrigo, as well as to the ancient mythological landscapes of Stravinsky’s Apollon Musagète. Paul Stanhope’s Dancing on Clouds will be a moving moment, depicting the ‘landscape’ that unwell children view from high up in a hospital ward as they look out their windows to the clouds, seeking hope for future adventures. Eric Avery, a Ngiyampaa, Yuin, Bandjalang and Gumbangirr artist, performs a series of miniatures, Mists and Violin Landscapes, new works that give the listener a fresh and authentic perspective on the ideas of landscape and place – Eric’s own place. You can expect an utterly alluring experience from this concert!

Maestro Series: Breathtaking Tchaikovsky

August 7th 2021

Nine days before the great Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky passed away, he premiered his last great symphony – the Symphony No.6. It is known as the ‘Passionate’ symphony in Russian or the rather more tragic ‘Pathétique’ in French. The slow, meditative ending of this symphony was unusual for its time, but its emotional power has only grown with the years.

Also featured in this concert is Liszt’s monumental first concerto for piano and orchestra, performed by the formidable Piers Lane. Liszt was one of the geniuses of the piano in the 19th century, but he also knew how to share the stage with an orchestra, so this work is a spectacular showcase for pianist and orchestral musicians alike.

Conducted by QSO Principal Conductor and Artistic Adviser Johannes Fritzsch, this will be an unforgettable experience for everyone in the Concert Hall.

Pop Goes The Punk

August 10th 2021

With the texture and tempo of punk rock and the melodies of power pop, pop punk has been around, in one form or another since the early ‘70s but found major mainstream popularity in the post grunge era of the mid to late nineties and early naughties.

Leading the nineties pop punk charge were Green Day, Blink-182, The Offspring, Simple Plan, Sum 41 and Jimmy Eat World with the new decade seeing the genre evolve further with groups like Good Charlotte, Fall Out Boy, My Chemical Romance and Paramore. In 2021, the majority of these acts maintain modern day relevance and, in some cases, superstar stadium status.

Silverback Touring is excited to present Pop Goes The Punk, a fun, energy packed tribute show paying homage to the era of big hooks, good times and….. wallet chains.

The show features full length live tributes to two of pop punks poster boys, Green Day (performed by Adelaide’s Basket Case) and Blink-182 (performed by Sydney’s Australian Blink-182 show) who both boast some of the biggest anthems of the genre amongst some timeless classics. The party vibe is kept alive with rock DJ, Jordan Adam, and guests, spinning all of the hits and anthems of era.

Pop Goes The Punk is a must for all fans of the genre and the perfect opportunity to celebrate everything nineties and naughties. We could not think of a better way to brush aside some of those pandemic and lockdown blues.

Sandsong: Stories From The Great Sandy Desert

August 13th - 21st 2021

Under the vast Kimberley sky, the red pindan dust stretches across the desert homelands of the Walmajarri, where the ancient knowledge of People and of Country is preserved through Songlines that have endured for hundreds of generations.

SandSong: Stories from the Great Sandy Desert tells the unique story of this Place and the survival of its People.

Between the 1920s and 1960s, Aboriginal people were removed off their Country and forced into hard labour for no wages and only minimal rations.

Despite this displacement and cultural disruption, the people of the Western Desert have maintained unbroken connection to their Land, keeping stories and kinship strong.

This is the Country of Wangkatjungka woman Ningali Josie Lawford-Wolf (1967-2019), an important cultural consultant and artistic collaborator of Bangarra whose spirit, stories and artistic contributions have inspired a number of the company’s works, and enriched the broader arts landscape.

SandSong is created by Bangarra Dance Theatre in consultation with Wangkatjungka/Walmajarri Elders from the Kimberley and Great Sandy Desert regions.

This work honours the legacy of Ningali Josie Lawford-Wolf and her family – past, present, and future.

Queensland Youth Symphony Resurrection

August 14th 2021

In this spectacular symphony, Mahler said he put “the inner aspect of [his] whole life … everything that [he had] experienced and endured.” The composer asks fundamental questions: what is the meaning of life, death and what comes after?

After preliminary rehearsals of the symphony in January 1895, Mahler wrote “The effect is so great that one cannot describe it… If I were to say what I think of this great work, it would sound too arrogant in a letter … The whole thing sounds as though it came to us from some other world. I think there is no one who can resist it. One is battered to the ground and then raised on angel’s wings to the highest heights.”

Frenzal Rhomb

August 14th 2021

Health Officials confirm: The only thing slower than Australia’s vaccine rollout is writing the new Frenzal album.

The small possibility of blood clots from the AstraZeneca jab has been eclipsed today, by the even tinier chance of any new music from Australia’s semi-favourite still-here punk rock band before 2022.

In a late night hastily organised press conference, Frenzal Rhomb’s chief medical officer Doctor Lindemans was quick to hose down speculation that the delivery of their new songs had been hampered by the European Union hoarding all the riffs, explaining “Our studies have shown that genetic mutations are creating new variants of power chords played fast through a distortion pedal which are continuing to emerge daily. We’re confident it won’t be too long before some of those chord progressions reach our shores”.

In the meantime, Frenzal Rhomb have announced today they’re embarking on a large-scale inoculation rollout program from May through to November. The band will bring their existing riffs, lyrics and melodies to towns and cities across Australia playing intimate venues to large scale festivals (hub style) to ensure we, as a nation reach herd immunity… and life can go back to normal as soon as possible. Areas left out of these rollout dates are told to be patient, or just get on a bus. Please bring your Medicare card.

Budjerah

August 18th 2021

For 18-year-old artist Budjerah Slabb, making music was an inevitability.

Raised in a home full of instruments by a family whose time was split between playing in family bands and leading worship services in the local church, Budjerah has crafted a sound that melds the formative elements of gospel and soul, with contemporary pop and R’n’B references.

“I grew up singing Sam Cooke and listening to gospel singers like The Clark Sisters. That’s the kind of music that has been around since I was little.”

He found kinship with ARIA and J Award-winning artist Matt Corby, who produced his upcoming debut EP. Corby’s studio is located close to Budjerah’s home in Fingal Head – traditionally the land of Bundjalung people, from which Budjerah is descended – and the two clocked countless hours comparing notes and crafting the sound that would introduce the world to what Budjerah can do.

“I’m pushing the limits too far, I’m way out of my lane. When will my patience run out? Not everyone will break the same way,” 

Budjerah sings on his debut single Missing You. The song was immediately added to rotation on triple j and spent over a week at the #1 position on the station’s ‘most played’ chart. A melancholic and sophisticated R’n’B track that melds longing lyrics with a sparse sonic palette, the single taps into the sense of isolation Budjerah knows he isn’t alone in experiencing.

We might still be in the first few chapters, but it’s clear Budjerah’s tales will bring listeners closer together.

“When people listen to my music, they’ll hear my experience. I hope it brings them comfort and shows they’re not alone.”

Over the past 3 years, the comfortably dishevelled group of Alex Wilson, Jacob Reed, Nick Cavdarski and Max Beech have had their heads buried deep in the lyric books. Working with producer Ian Haug (Powderfinger, The Church) and signed to his label Airlock Records; they are finally ready to share their art. They’ve also recently picked up Tayla Young, an artist in her own right, to play shows and bring her pure good vibes to the mix.

Dear Seattle

September 1st 2021

Back with their first taste of new music since 2019’s acclaimed Don’t Let Go album, one of Australia’s favourite modern rock acts – Dear Seattle – is back with the new single ‘In My Head’. Today’s release also comes alongside the announcement of a long-awaited Dear Seattle headline tour, before the band premiere the ‘In My Head’ music video this Friday, June 11 via Youtube (INSERT TIME).

Glowing yet melancholic in sound, Dear Seattle vocalist/guitarist Brae Fisher shares that ‘In My Head’ describes the familiar feeling of being stuck in your own head while trying to connect with others.

“It’s been a minute, but we’re so damn excited to be back with new music! ‘In My Head’ is about stepping back into your regular life after a period of withdrawn reflection, walking around like a spectator to your own life. There’s a thin barrier of disconnection as you try to adjust and settle back into everyday interactions, which is just enough to make you notice the true absurdity of monotonous small talk and forced conversations,” he says.

“It’s a more nuanced and mature direction for us but still keeps the classic Dear Seattle sound with an emotionally charged singalong chorus and introspective verses, so it felt like the perfect song for us to return with. We can’t wait to get back out there and play some this song and our other new tunes for you live.”

Following recent appearances supporting Dune Rats on their national tour, playing Summer Sounds in Adelaide earlier in the year and appearing at Next Exit Festival (Ocean Alley, Spacey Jane + more) last month, Dear Seattle is finally appeasing the masses with the announcement of their national single tour. For the first time since selling out all shows on their 2019 Australian headliner, the band will head around the country next month with support from Teen Jesus and the Jean Teasers.

The Bamboos

September 2nd 2021

Melbourne nine piece The Bamboos have announced their first Australian tour in over three years to launch their 10^th, and arguably their finest yet, studio album, Hard Up. The tour is a belated chance to celebrate across the country their 21 years together.

The Bamboos are undoubted pioneers of Funk & Soul in Australia, and this album and tour are a consolidation of the now 21 years of hard graft in getting Australian Soul music accepted both here and worldwide. Formed in 2000 by guitarist and bandleader Lance Ferguson during the now revered early noughties Deep Funk revival, amongst the likes of Sharon Jones & The Dap Kings they held their own against the overwhelming tide of rock music at Australian venues and stages in the early to mid 2000s. Vocalist Kylie Auldist joined the band in 2007 and in a short space of time they became one of the first local Funk & Soul live drawcards, establishing a loyal following and a peerless reputation as one of the best live bands in the country regardless of genre.

They soon evolved into a more complex blend of modern songwriting and classic soul arrangements, appealing to both purist fans of the genre as much as casual music fans by focusing on what’s important: songwriting, groove and powerful vocals.

From a time where soul music was rare to see on Australian stages and hear on the radio The Bamboos have helped forge a scene where it’s now not just important locally but making waves globally. Their impact on what would become the now world-famous Melbourne Soul scene is undeniable, blazing a path and inspiring so many locals to play, record and explore new ideas in Soul, Funk, Jazz and Beats.

Oracle

September 30th - October 3rd 2021

Since the beginning of time, humankind, gods and goddesses alike, have all looked up to the stars in an attempt to draw meaning from the Universe. In doing so, prophecies, myths and tales have been told; tales of monsters, mermaids and other mythical creatures. Of powerful goddesses, and vengeful gods, of heroes and beautiful maidens. Tales of a decadent time, of love and lust, of bravery and sacrifice. Tales and legends that birthed the star constellations of the Zodiac signs we know today.

Delivering these prophecies and myths, a maiden - a warrior, a saviour and an empath, a beauty robbed of sight but blessed with vision. The voice of the gods, the light in the dark. She is ORACLE.

Let ORACLE and her haunting, powerhouse vocals guide you through the 12 zodiac myths, explored thematically through live vocals, world class circus acts, mesmerizing aerials, steamy burlesque numbers, interlaced with ballet, contemporary and commercial dance.

With a diverse, talented and attractive cast of 19 performers, Oracle brings you elite specialty acts and choreography, set to an epic soundtrack of classic anthems, hit songs, ballads, covers and cinematic masterpieces. The handmade costumes, providing an injection of high fashion into the mix, pay homage to some of the biggest names of the fashion world.

ZOOT, one of Australia’s most-loved bands of the late ’60s, early ’70s, is re-forming for four shows only. And the band – featuring Beeb Birtles, Rick Springfield and Rick Brewer– will be joined by their close friend and contemporary Russell Morris.

The tour – ZOOT’s first Australian shows in nearly 50 years – is dedicated to the band’s lead singer, Darryl Cotton, who died of liver cancer in 2012.

“This whole tour is about honouring Darryl Cotton and his band ZOOT,” Rick Springfield says. “Darryl also had a band with Russell Morris, Jim Keays and Ronnie Burns for 16 years, so it’s great to have Russell celebrating Darryl by joining ZOOT.”

Russell says the tour will be a “labour of love”.

“I am not trying to be Darryl,” Russell points out. “But as I worked with Darryl for so long, he is a part of me. And I know how much he cared about ZOOT, so I will give it my very best.”

The reunion celebrates the 50thanniversary of ZOOT’s debut album, Just Zoot,and follows the release of the ZOOT anthology, Archaeology.

“Who would have thought we’d still be performing ZOOT songs 50 years after the release of Just Zoot,” smiles Beeb, who started ZOOT in Adelaide with Darryl Cotton. “Nevertheless, here we are with ZOOT in 2020!”

Aside from 2007’s Countdown Spectacular, this will be Rick Springfield’s first Australian appearances since 1971.

Often referred to as “a supergroup in reverse” – after the band broke up in 1971, Beeb Birtles was a founding member of Little River Band, Rick Springfield became a solo star in the US, and Rick Brewer joined The Ferrets – ZOOT were crowned Australia’s Best Group in Go-Set in 1969 and had a string of hits, including ‘One Times, Two Times, Three Times, Four’, ‘Monty and Me’, ‘The Freak’, and their blistering cover of The Beatles’ ‘Eleanor Rigby’.

Constellation Cup Game 1 - Aus Diamonds v Silver Ferns

October 13th 2021

Presented by: Netball Australia & TEG Live

A competition that’s been part of netball’s history since 20 August 1938. A longstanding and intense rivalry that spans generations with a history of close margins and proud rivalries. For many, there is no bigger spectacle in the sport than when the Origin Australian Diamonds play the New Zealand Silver Ferns.

Every year, since 2012, this rivalry has culminated in the Constellation Cup – a four-game series between the two most storied teams in the sport.

Our fans have vibrant memories of these games, which they hold close to their hearts. Excitement, amazement, noise, joy, nail-biting anxiety, fear, and fairy-tale finishes.

When these two sides met in March this year in New Zealand, the Silver Ferns reclaimed the Constellation Cup for the first time in eight years. This year, the Diamonds will play the role of the hunter, when they take on their oldest rivals in Brisbane and Cairns before the series concludes in New Zealand.

October 15th 2021

Melbourne-based, worldwide-beloved, twice-Grammy-nominated Hiatus Kaiyote returns in 2021 with their new album Mood Valiant and to celebrate, the band are going on tour.

Comprised of Nai Palm (guitar, vocals), Paul Bender (bass), Simon Mavin (keys), and Perrin Moss (drums), Hiatus Kaiyote broke internationally in 2012 with their first LP, Tawk Tomahawk, which was praised by simpatico musical travelers from Erykah Badu to Questlove to Prince, and embraced by DJs like the BBC’s Gilles Peterson, DJ Jazzy Jeff and Anthony Valadez (KCRW/Morning Becomes Eclectic). Their first R&B Grammy nomination, for their song “Nakamarra,” was followed by a second for “Breathing Underwater,” from their sophomore album, 2015’s Choose Your Weapon.

Still, their music defied categorization: Some called it “neo-soul,” others “future soul”; the band calls it, simply, wondercore. Their music found fans in hip-hop, sampled on songs by The Carters (Beyonce & Jay-Z), Kendrick Lamar, Anderson .Paak, Chance The Rapper, and Drake—with whom Nai Palm collaborated on his Scorpion album; and in jazz, when Robert Glasper invited the band to appear on his album of Miles Davis remakes, Everything’s Beautiful. Their records and live shows won them raves in The Guardian, Rolling Stone, and in the New York Times, where Jon Pareles wrote that “Hiatus Kaiyote’s music stretches and bends every parameter.”
From July onwards, audiences across the country will be amongst the first to experience Mood Valiant live.

As the name of GNR’s 2017 tour suggests, many GNR fans once believed that they would only be able to experience founding members Axl, Slash and Duff sharing a stage again in their dreams. But then the band’s classic line-up regrouped for Coachella 2016 and the Not In This Lifetime tour was announced shortly afterwards, thrilling fans all over the world until November, 2019.

The Australian leg of Guns N' Roses' Not In This Lifetime stadium tour marked the first time that Australian fans witnessed Axl, Slash and Duff reunited since 1993's Use Your Illusion tour and the band's onstage chemistry was undeniable.

GNR's 2021 Australian tour is the light at the end of the bleak tunnel we’ve all negotiated this year. All aboard the Nightrain to Paradise City for what promises to be a heaving celebration of the unbreakable human spirit!

Cowboy Junkies

February 1st 2022

Canadian alt-country pioneers Cowboy Junkies will return to Australian and New Zealand for the first time in 22 years in 2022.

Anyone who has followed Cowboy Junkies’ three-decade-long journey knows the band has always remained true to its unique artistic vision. In 1988, they proved that there was an audience waiting for something quiet, beautiful and reflective. The Trinity Session was like a whisper that cut through the noise with its introspective, quiet intensity. Their new album, All That Reckoning, once again gently shakes the listener to wake up. It may be the most powerful album Cowboy Junkies have yet recorded.

Cowboy Junkies inadvertently started a revolution when they appeared in the late ‘80s. The Trinity Session featured the band’s unforgettable cover of the Velvet Underground’s “Sweet Jane”, and combined folk, country, blues and rock in a way that had never been heard before. It went on to sell more than a million copies but its influence was broader and deeper. Indeed the record presaged the subsequent alternative-country movement in the ‘90s and beyond, with its general mood – the album had been recorded in a church with the group performing around a single microphone.
