Teams Behind Major Aussie Festivals To Bring New Event To Brisbane

Promising some of the “most exciting dance, electronic, and hip-hop acts from around the world”, Brisbane’s newest music festival, Wildlands, will make its debut later this year.

The one-day event comes from the teams behind Victoria’s Beyond The Valley and Perth’s Origin Fields, with organisers also confirming today that RÜFÜS DU SOL will play the December 28 festival at Brisbane Showgrounds.

“Brisbane is such a beautiful city, filled with music lovers of all genres,” Beyond The Valley’s Michael Cristidis said.

“Beyond The Valley and Origin host so much amazing talent touring the country over New Year’s that often don’t visit Brisbane. Each festival has grown so much over the past years, carving their own unique festival experience and collectively we thought it’s time Brisbane gets their own taste of our flair too. 

“We’re really excited to create something just for Brisbane that will be totally different to anything currently on offer, bringing the best of the East and West Coast together for one very special day.”

Origin Fields Saran Bajaj added: “The thing I love about Brisbane is that it’s so musically and culturally diverse. Being able to curate a broader musical programme with our partners at BTV has been one of the most enjoyable booking experiences I’ve personally have ever had. With the strengths of the two festivals, I feel, that we will be able to create an event that is unique to Brisbane as Beyond The Valley is unique to Melbourne and Origin is to Perth.”

The full line-up and ticketing info are expected soon. Check out the Wildlands website for more details.
