Brisbane Festival has officially launched – and Back to Bilo is almost sold out

Brisbane Festival has officially launched, lighting up the city with bold, brilliant art from across the country and around the world.

Taking centre stage at Queensland Theatre is Back to Bilo – a powerful Australian story from Brisbane’s much-loved independent performing arts company, Belloo.

We’re thrilled to announce that, due to overwhelming demand, two additional performances of Back to Bilo have been added to the season: Monday 15 September and Tuesday 16 September.

These extra shows are strictly limited and expected to sell fast — don’t miss your chance to experience this compelling and timely production.

A true-life story of people-power, love, and resistance, Back to Bilo reminds us that even in the face of overwhelming odds, togetherness and persistence can prevail.

Presented by Belloo and produced by Performing Lines as part of Brisbane Festival 2025.
