Brisbane’s live music scene is part of our incredible lifestyle and The QUBE Effect provides the vital support to help the next generation of talented musicians.

This free opportunity is the perfect way for young and emerging artists to gain experience, network with like-minded people and learn from some of the best in the industry.

I’m committed to fostering Brisbane talent because I don’t want to see young local musicians give up on their dreams as a result of rising costs.

That’s why this program is absolutely free – it helps artists get ahead, inspires them to follow their dreams and ensures Brisbane continues to be the best place to live, work and play.” said Lord Mayor Adrian Schrinner.
