Hey mates, last year I put on a series of shows in the CBD in collaboration with the council, I come from a background of playing in bands and more recently putting on shows and managing artists.
I'm looking at running the CBD shows again this year but would love your input, to know what is there a demand for etc.
Where would you like to see live music in the city? who would you like to see play? Any thoughts or opinions on this are welcome and appreciated! Here's to making the best city in the world even better. Thanks

Probably doesn’t answer what you’re asking but I really liked the suburban park concerts that Brisbane festival put on for a couple of years. It was nice to pop down to a local park and chill to some music in the afternoon.
Queen Street mall rocks when there’s a good band on
I used to play a lot for the City Sounds(?) around like 2012-2014, I remember the few spots in Queen Street mall were always well received (especially the main stage) but also the Valley Mall during the markets.
We played acoustic based music, mix of covers and originals, usually mid-morning to mid-afternoon was prime time.
south bank on a friday arvo would go off. something like a local band doing covers with some originals mixed in, people sitting on the grass with takeaway food. the vibe basically sells itself in that spot
cheers for actually doing this though, brisbane needs more people putting on live stuff
