BRLN ✦ THE BLACK WINTER TALES

A Berlin-inspired night of dark rhythms, art and performances.

Friday July 31st.

After an obscene streak of 11 sold out rituals engraved into the memory of Brisbane’s underground, The Black Winter Tales arrives with an unholy showcase of techno, madness and dark winter arts.

BRLN returns for its second show of 2026, transforming the venue into a techno-driven winter ritual where the weird, the bizarre and the unconventional are not hidden, but celebrated.

A space built for freedom, self expression and radical inclusivity, where 1,300 bodies, dark sounds and performances merge for one night.

Expect a dark winter ceremony.

Sacred chaos across multiple chambers.

Unpredictable performances.

A cold night of techno, symbolism and filth.

This marks our 12th BRLN ritual, following an unmatched run of 11 consecutive sold out editions.

The trust is built.
The standard is set.

Cross the gates.
Embrace the chaos.
Enter The Black Winter Tales.

3 Chambers | 20+ Techno Disciples | 20+ Onstage Ritualists, Fire and Chaos in Performance
