The story

Anywhere Festival Brisbane in Brisbane

Brisbane's Anywhere Festival stages theatre, comedy, dance and cabaret in places that were never meant to be venues: backyards, bus stops, cathedrals, rooftops and op shops across the inner city. Running for several weeks each winter, it strips away the cost of traditional venue hire so independent artists can perform almost anywhere, turning a simple program booklet into a citywide trail of pop-up performances for adventurous audiences.

Brisbane's Anywhere Festival turns the ordinary corners of the city into stages nobody expected.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

What sets this festival apart is its refusal to use a conventional venue at all

02

The mystery stays covered

Instead of one central site, performances scatter across more than a hundred locations, from a planetarium to a historic cellar to a suburban bus stop, meaning no two audience members necessarily have the same festival experience

03

The city starts moving

The low-cost, open-access model means local and emerging artists who could never afford a traditional theatre season get a genuine platform, sitting on the same program as more established names

04

The water draws everyone in

The Campfire Jamboree Under the Stars, staged at a former paint factory, has become one of the festival's most talked-about communal gatherings
