Overview

Break out the cake, candles, streamers, party hats and lolly bags, because someone's having a birthday. Well, not just someone, but somewhere. And not just anywhere, but one of Fortitude Valley's favourite hangouts. Yes, that slice of music heaven on Brunswick Street that is Black Bear Lodge has now been part of the inner-city scene for 11 years. If that's not cause for celebration between Friday, June 3—Saturday, June 4, then we don't know what is.

Trust the BBL crew to throw its own shindig (and cry if it wants to) to mark the occasion. And trust it to rope in a whole lot of other folks to make the two evenings something extra special, too.

On the lineup: Benny Chiu, David Versace, Doggie Heaven and Gratitude Cowgirl, as well as Great Sage, Jimmy Ellis, Paulie Marinos and Simi Lacroix — plus Square and Sugar Leaves, too.

The party runs till late on both nights, and tickets for each evening cost $15 on the door.
