Summary
Overview
The horns are back, the BBQs are fired up and summer starts here with the return of Big Brass Barbeque.
Following a huge debut in 2026, Big Brass Barbeque returns to HOTA’s Outdoor Stage for another sun-soaked celebration of big horns, bold grooves and seriously good times.
Leading the charge is The Cat Empire, joined by Horns of Leroy featuring THNDO, The Steele Syndicate and special guests Gold Coast City Brass Band for one huge night of live music under the summer sky.
Settle in on the lawn as the sun goes down and the Outdoor Stage comes alive with soaring horns, infectious rhythms, funk, soul and roots-driven sounds. Between sets, grab something smoky from the BBQ food trucks, hit the outdoor bars and soak up the atmosphere with family and friends.
Licensed and all ages, Big Brass Barbeque is made for summer - great live music, cold drinks, smoky eats and six hours of festival energy in the heart of the Gold Coast.
One stage. One massive summer night. Big Brass Barbeque is back.
Mode: Chill Out. FAQs below.
