Blak Day Out

Overview

On Saturday, July 26, 2025, First Nations artists are firmly in the spotlight at one of Brisbane's must-attend returning gigs. It was back in 2022 that Blak Social debuted Blak Day Out, which has popped up each year since. This time, it's heading to The Princess Theatre for an event that's celebrating Indigenous female talent.

In fact, that's the entire lineup at Blak Day Out 2025, starting with Christine Anu not only joining the party but leading it. Thelma Plum and Miss Kaninna are also on the bill, as are Stiff Gins, GLVES, Dameeeela and Kritty — and if you've been before, you'll know that some of these names aren't new to this stage.

The focus at the all-ages festival remains the same — and also essential — with Blak Day Out celebrating Indigenous music, culture and community. 2025's run forms part of Open Season, the city's midyear music series, as well as falling into QPAC's Clancestry.

Doors open at 5pm — and while Blak Day Out has been free in some past years, the event is ticketed in 2025.
