From Busby Marou to 90s Hits, Stones Corner Festival Has Unveiled the Lineup for 2025's Ten-Year Anniversary Street Party
Live tunes, markets, food trucks, beers from a heap of local brewers: now that's how to spend the Labour Day long weekend.
After locking in its 2025 date earlier in March, Stones Corner Festival has now revealed who'll be taking to the stage when it returns the corner of Logan and Old Cleveland roads at the beginning of May. Australian duo Busby Marou lead the lineup, joined by the throwback tunes of Never Ending 90s, Roaring Lion's Bob Marley tribute and more. Throw in the event's markets, food trucks and breweries pouring beer, and that should be part of your Labour Day long weekend sorted.
Summer might be over until the end of the year, but that doesn't mean that all of the fun is heading indoors in Brisbane, clearly. Autumn and street parties go hand in hand in the River City, including at this inner-south favourite. You'll be attending on the Sunday of the May long weekend — this year on Sunday, May 4 — and this is an extra-special celebration, given that Stones Corner Festival is marking its ten-year anniversary.
Tom Busby solo, Brad Butcher and Tori Darke, John Hanley with Don't Shoot the Hurricane and Seaside round out the roster of talent that'll be trying to get you doing what David Bowie, Mick Jagger, Martha and the Vandellas, The Kinks, Little Richard, Van Halen and the Grateful Dead have all sung about: dancing in the street. There's nothing quite like partying on a roadway when it's closed to cars, with traffic replaced by stalls and bars as well as stages filled with live music. That's the Stones Corner Festival setup.
Some events feel like they've always been part of Brisbane's cultural scene and this is one of them, even if it is only hosting its tenth fest this year. That's the sign of something special, with this free street party swiftly becoming one of the city's must-attend festivities.
The Market Folk is in charge of the stalls filled with preloved, handcrafted and eco-friendly wares. The all-ages event also includes family-friendly entertainment for the full spectrum of patrons.
You can expect Black Hops, Revel, CBCO, Better Beer, Balter, Your Mates, Burleigh Brewing, Heads of Noosa, Green Beacon and Stone & Wood to help quench your thirst. Eating-wise, Our Kitchen, Greek Street Kantina, Chipstars, and Catch & Kiss are among the options.
If you're planning a big one, that public holiday the next day is oh-so-convenient. Also, entry remains free but, as in past years, giving a gold coin donation to the MND and Me Foundation is recommended.
