BUgFest fundraiser, a first – Saturday 5 April

The Cave Inn, 47 Balaclava St, Woolloongabba QLD 4102

The BUg (Brisbane Unplugged gigs) is a beloved music event (and maybe Brisbane’s best-kept secret) that happens every Tuesday night at its current home at the New Farm Bowls Club. It has been operating now for over 20 years.

The BUg is hosting a one-day fund-raiser festival (BUgFest) – our very first – at The Cave Inn on Brisbane’s southside on Saturday 5 April.

What to expect?

If you love acoustic music, singer/songwriters, Celtic vibes, alt country, Indie folk, this is the festival for you!

Some of the BUG’s favourite performers will be on the bill for an event that will start at 3.30 and finish around 10.30pm.

We’ve lined up a couple of our biggest name bands and splendid performers for what will be a cracking good time.
Between acts, there will be interactive sessions where musicians can jump in, play together, sharpen their skills and connect with fellow artists.
