MEANJIN LIVE

Aussie rock titans Grinspoon return to Brisbane to celebrate 30 years of iconic tunes on their Birthday Bonanza tour.

Playing an epic set at Roma Street Parklands, Cut Copy mixed in tracks from their new album into a run of crowd favourites from across their back catalogue. The energy was on point and, after not seeing Cut Copy since Big Day Out 2009, the nostalgic punch of 'Hearts on Fire' and 'Lights and Music' landed just as hard as it did back then. Among the newer material, 'When This Is Over' stood out as a highlight, while 'Solid' also found its mark with the crowd.

Playlunch was pure chaos in the best way possible — sweaty, hilarious, and bursting with unfiltered Aussie energy.

Under the night sky, with candles flickering around her, Amy Shark performed a stripped-back acoustic set that transformed the parklands into an intimate listening room.

Hot off their leading single releases, 'MALADAPTIVE' has just hit streaming services and is already making numbers for Meanjin's most deserving twins.

The question on new punk trio Sagnar's mind is hardly the most thought provoking part of these three trailblazers putting in the work in rural Queensland.

An energetic night of beautiful outfits and intimate details left us all dazzled in the spotlight of our own K-pop audition.

The Living Tombstone was an energetic and visually stunning experience, the band captivated the crowd the moment they entered the stage with their LED attires and continued to do so with their electrifying music throughout their set.

Owning the stage and audience, a night of 'jump-rope-with-the-microphone-cable' and goth nostalgia brought the most spontaneous and courageous act to bring new tricks to a historic venue.

Brisbane’s iconic Lefty’s Music Hall proved the perfect scene for the pair’s candidly written lyrics which left listeners piecing together visions of nights and loves long past.
