BAND REHEARSAL

A FREE SPACE TO REHEARSE FOR BRISBANE BANDS

For 12 years, The Brightside has been lucky enough to sit at the heart of Brisbane’s live music community.

We’ve watched bands play their first shows, launch records, sell out rooms and grow into artists touring across the country and beyond. Brisbane’s music scene has given us a lot over the years, so we wanted to find a small way to give something back.

With the cost of living continuing to rise, rehearsal rooms, rent and even getting your band across town is becoming harder, especially for grassroots artists just starting out.

So we’re opening up a number of free daytime rehearsal slots each week at The Brightside for Brisbane bands and artists.

No hire fees. No catch.

Just a space to rehearse, write songs, tighten your live set and make some noise.

Bring your own gear, use the room and come soundtrack our days while we work behind the scenes preparing for the next show.

If you’re interested in booking a rehearsal slot, book below.
