After a breakout debut last year, the open-air concert series will stretch across three weekends this September inside the sprawling greenery of Roma Street Parkland, pulling together a lineup that reads like a collision between Australian music institution, nostalgia rush and festival afterparty.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The expanded series will host nine nights of music, with everyone from\u00a0The Cruel Sea\u00a0and\u00a0Magic Dirt\u00a0to\u00a0Missy Higgins,\u00a0PNAU\u00a0and\u00a0Aloe Blacc\u00a0transforming the subtropical inner-city venue into one of Australia\u2019s more eclectic live music gatherings.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Opening weekend leans heavily into Australian alternative rock history. The Cruel Sea and Magic Dirt will launch proceedings with a special performance celebrating thirty years of\u00a0Three Legged Dog, an album that helped define a particular strain of smoky, late-night Australian rock in the mid-90s. Meanwhile,\u00a0Katie Noonan\u00a0brings her acclaimed interpretation of\u00a0Grace\u00a0to the series, revisiting one of the most mythologised records of the 90s through a performance that has already sold out theatres around the country.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Elsewhere, nostalgia and reinvention continue colliding.\u00a0Yesterday\u2019s Gone: The Fleetwood Mac Legacy\u00a0promises a carefully reconstructed dive into the world of\u00a0Fleetwood Mac, while\u00a0Human Nature\u00a0arrive armed with their polished Motown-infused crowd-pleasers on All The Hits Live.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But Night at The Parkland is also clearly chasing scale rather than simply sentimentality. Aloe Blacc\u2019s appearance marks his first Australian performance in seven years as part of his Wake Me Up Tour, while\u00a0The Temper Trap\u00a0return with the kind of widescreen indie-rock anthems that once dominated festival fields across the globe.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Then there\u2019s the final weekend, which pivots sharply from reflective singalongs into full-scale release.\u00a0ICEHOUSE\u00a0return following a sold-out appearance last year, while PNAU\u2019s unseated \u201cdancefloor only\u201d performance feels specifically engineered to turn Roma Street Parkland into a giant outdoor rave beneath the Brisbane skyline. Closing night duties fall to Missy Higgins, whose catalogue of emotionally open songwriting feels almost purpose-built for an outdoor spring evening.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">NIGHT AT THE PARKLAND<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">September 4 \u2013 20,\u00a02026<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">ROMA STREET PARKLAND, BRISBANE<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">FRIDAY 4\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0THE CRUEL SEA and MAGIC DIRT\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">SATURDAY 5\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0KATIE NOONAN: JEFF BUCKLEY\u2019S GRACE\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">SUNDAY 6\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0YESTERDAY\u2019S GONE: THE FLEETWOOD MAC LEGACY<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">FRIDAY 11\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0ALOE BLACC<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">SATURDAY 12\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0THE TEMPER TRAP<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">SUNDAY 13\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0HUMAN NATURE \u2013 ALL THE HITS LIVE\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">FRIDAY 18\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0ICEHOUSE<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">SATURDAY 19\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0PNAU\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">SUNDAY 20\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0MISSY HIGGINS<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Go <a href=\"https:\/\/nightattheparkland.com.au\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">HERE<\/a> for ticketing information.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1160\" height=\"772\" data-attachment-id=\"289556\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.backseatmafia.com\/news-night-at-the-parkland-returns-with-massive-2026-brisbane-lineup\/photo-credit-simonegormanclark-simone-gorman-clark_-47\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/www.backseatmafia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Photo-Credit-@simonegormanclark-Simone-Gorman-Clark_-47-scaled.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"2048,1363\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;Simone Gorman-Clark&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;Simone Gorman-Clark&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;alt&quot;:&quot;&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Photo Credit- @simonegormanclark \u2013 Simone Gorman-Clark_-47\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/australia\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Photo-Credit-@simonegormanclark-Simone-Gorman-Clark_-47-1160x772.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/australia\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Photo-Credit-@simonegormanclark-Simone-Gorman-Clark_-47-1160x772.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-289556\"  \/>Image Simone Gorman-Clark<\/p>\n<p>\n\tRelated<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Brisbane\u2019s\u00a0Night at The Parkland\u00a0is returning in 2026.
