Valley Fiesta is the signature celebration for Fortitude Valley, one of the nation’s only dedicated entertainment precincts, and the beating heart of Brisbane’s live music scene. Each year it brings thousands to its streets, laneways and stages, turning the precinct into a showcase of local talent and national acts.
The 2025 program is stacked with must-see performances. Hockey Dad, Brisbane’s own Sycco, and Keli Holiday of ARIA-winning duo Peking Duk lead the bill. They will be joined by rising stars including TYDE, winner of the 2025 QUBE Effect Lord Mayor’s Live Event Award, who will open the Brunswick Street Main Stage from 4pm.
Across two main stages in Brunswick Street and Valley Mall, more than 25 acts will perform. From indie rock to electronic beats, the sounds will spill into the laneways where Winn Lane’s Quivr Stage will keep DJ sets running well into the night.
It is free, it is vibrant, and it has something for everyone. From afternoon until midnight, Valley Fiesta is an invitation to celebrate the unmatched lifestyle that Brisbane has become known for.
Valley Fiesta is presented by Brisbane City Council and delivered in partnership with QMusic and The Tivoli. It remains a vital date on the city’s calendar, not only for music fans but also for the businesses and venues that make the Valley what it is.
