New music festival kicks off in Brisbane

The new Brisbane Winter Sessions festival will kick off in August this year to celebrate the cities’ local music scene.

Supported by the Brisbane City Council, Triple J and Q-Music, the festival aims to support Brisbane’s local music scene, featuring a mix of established and emerging artists across a wide range of genres.

This follows calls from performers, venue owners and QMusic for the state government to support the live music industry, and a $7 million funding commitment from the state budget last week.
