Stones Corner Festival, the free, all-ages street party that transforms Logan Road into Brisbane’s loudest lounge room every autumn, is back for its 11th year, and if the lineup is anything to go by, 2026 is set to be its most electric chapter yet.
From 12pm to 10pm on Sunday, May 3, the streets of Stones Corner will once again fill with live music, food trucks, market stalls, local brewers and the kind of unscripted, joyful chaos that only happens when a whole neighbourhood decides to throw a party together.
This year’s entertainment lineup is seriously worth clearing your calendar for. Headlining are Rogue Traders featuring Natalie Bassingthwaighte, the ARIA-nominated icons behind Voodoo Child and Watching You, back with the original lineup and new music to boot. As the afternoon rolls into evening, Super Disco Club takes over with a euphoric blend of disco, house and ’90s anthems, the kind of set that keeps the dancefloor moving well into the night.
Country fans will be well looked after, too. Giddy Up Strut ft. Nashville Jukebox bring a honky-tonk street takeover packed with modern hits from the likes of Luke Combs and Lainey Wilson, while Queens Country Line Dancing will get the whole crowd involved with interactive sessions that turn Logan Road into one big dancefloor. No experience needed.
Rounding out the lineup are blues veteran Ray Beadle, three decades of electrifying guitar work and soul to spare, and Gold Coast four-piece Laurel Hill, whose breezy indie/surf rock sound is the perfect opener for a long, lazy Sunday.
The moment we’re most looking forward to, though, is John Hanley performing with Don’t Shoot the Hurricane. John has been living with Motor Neurone Disease for nine years, and every year he gets back on that stage. His mantra says it all: “If you have air in your lungs, you should be using it.” It’s the kind of performance that reminds you what live music and community is really for, and with gold coin donations on the day going directly to the MND and Me Foundation, every moment on that street carries a little extra meaning.
Whether you’re a local, a family, a newcomer or someone who just wandered past and got pulled in by the music, there’s a place for you here. It’s one of those days that makes Brisbane feel like a pretty special place to be.
