About

Open Season is The Tivoli Group’s annual program of music, art and cultural events, transforming Brisbane into a winter playground for live performance each year.

What began as a response to a global shutdown of the music industry has grown into one of Australia’s most dynamic contemporary music programs. Now in its sixth year, Open Season brings together world-class artists, local heroes and genre-defying performances across Brisbane’s most iconic venues and unexpected spaces.

For 10 weeks throughout winter, the city comes alive with concerts, collaborations, exhibitions and late-night moments that celebrate creativity and community. 

In 2026, Open Season expands further than ever before. Partnering with QPAC, The Tivoli, The Princess Theatre and more, the program stretches across the city with an ambitious lineup of performances, collaborations and one-off events that promise to be bigger, bolder and louder than ever.

Open Season is independently owned and operated, and has funding assistance through the Live Music Office of the Australian Government and Arts Queensland.
