Big news coming for Brisbane-based EDM lovers today, with the announcement that Boiler Room is finally making its debut in one of Australia’s coolest cities this November.
While Boiler Room Brisbane was initially announced back in May, it’s finally booked a date, venue and line-up—the latter of which is coming soon.
Following phenomenal demand for Boiler Room events in Melbourne and Sydney this year, Brisbane gets to join in the fun. The event will be held at Expo Place at the Brisbane Showgrounds on Saturday, 16 November.
MG Live will present the full line-up for the inaugural Boiler Room in Brisbane next week. Organisers have already started teasing the calibre of artists punters can expect to see, stating that “Australia’s most exciting selectors alongside renowned international heavy hitters” are on the way.
Tickets for the Brisbane Boiler Room go on sale next Thursday, 5 September, at 3 pm AEST. You can sign up for priority access to tickets here, and head to the Boiler Room website for more news, signing up to the mailing list, and more.
If you’ve seen the words “Boiler Room” around and don’t quite understand the hype, here’s what you need to know: it’s an independent music platform and cultural curator that works to connect club culture – which has seen a massive boom thanks to the popularisation of acts like Fred again.. and Charli XCX – to the broader world. How does it do that? All the gigs look like the most fun you can have through screens and in real life with parties, film, and video.
Born from humble beginnings, Boiler Room began with a webcam taped to a wall that opened a keyhole into the underground of London. Since 2010, Boiler Room has amassed an impressive archive that hosts over 8,000 performances by more than 5,000 artists in 200 cities, reaching millions of EDM fans monthly.
Last month, it was announced that Boiler Room would return to Sydney with its largest-ever Australian gig at the Munro Warehouse. Will Brisbane be even bigger? We’ll just have to wait and see.
