Laneway Tickets Land This Week, and Bruno Mars Locks In Two Nights at Suncorp

Brisbane's summer gig calendar is filling up fast, and two of its biggest dates need your attention this week.

Laneway: Saturday 13 February, Brisbane Showgrounds

Laneway Festival's 2027 line-up is out. Fontaines D.C. and Hayley Williams sit at the top, with pop acts like Kim Petras, MUNA and Slayyyter, plus homegrown producer Ninajirachi, further down the bill, so check the day-by-day line-up before you buy. Brisbane's day is Saturday 13 February at the Brisbane Showgrounds, the day after the festival opens in Sydney, and it's a 16+ event.

The practical part is the timing. The Laneway presale opens on Wednesday 7 October, and general sale follows on Thursday 8 October, with both starting at 11am in Brisbane.

One name confirmed for the Brisbane day is Rachel Chinouriri, who has a reason to be loud about it: her second album, I think I spoke too soon, arrives on Friday 16 October. Her new single "Broken chair" is a wobbly, late-night confession about partying and drinking, written in Los Angeles with Lucy Dacus. Chinouriri says working with Dacus helped: "she almost reassured me that I am more than enough just being who I am". Her own headline shows are in Sydney and Melbourne, so Laneway is her Brisbane date.

Bruno Mars: Suncorp Stadium, 28 February and 1 March

Bruno Mars brings The Romantic Tour to Suncorp Stadium for two nights, Sunday 28 February and Monday 1 March 2027. Tyla is the special guest, and Anderson .Paak will play as DJ Pee .Wee. Tickets are through Ticketmaster.

The tour has been building all year. His album The Romantic debuted at number one on the Billboard 200, and he has just released the video for "Dance With Me", which features Karol G, the duet partner on "Still", the song we covered in August. Warner Music describes the Australian and New Zealand stadium dates as sold out, so check Ticketmaster for any returns.

Dates and times can change, so check the official ticketing pages before you plan.
