From local heavy rock legends to budding pop stars, we’re sorting through all the unmissable music events taking over Greaser in Brisbane this month
Nestled along Wickham Street in Brisbane’s Fortitude Valley is one of the nation’s premiere music hotspots.
If you consider yourself a music fan, then you’ve undoubtedly found yourself at The Prince Consort at one point or another, and you’ve likely revelled in the head-banging tunes emanating from the hotel’s best-loved venue, Greaser.
The renowned music venue lies in the gritty underbelly of The Prince Consort Hotel, down a dimly-lit alley and beneath the city streets.
If it wasn’t already known as a dazzling venue in its own right — complete with graffiti-covered walls and an old-school vibe — then Greaser has made a name for itself by hosting a melting pot of emerging musical talent, with its calendar for April 2024 boasting perhaps it’s most exciting lineup to date.
Spanning household names to budding stars like Jorja B, Greaser’s April itinerary is enough to catch the envy of all music fans outside of Brisbane, but such an promising calendar is par for the course for the city’s best-kept secret.
