Venue registrations for Melt 2026

Melt Festival is an annual open-access festival of Queer art and culture staged across central Magandjin/Brisbane, Australia.

Building on the success of festival predecessor Melt, held annually at Brisbane Powerhouse since 2015, Melt Festival is a showcase of Queer art, artists, allies, icons, sport and ideas.

Melt will showcase more venues, more artists, more LGBTQIA+ love in a city gearing up to host the Olympic and Paralympic Games in 2032.

We invite venues to register for Melt 2026 shortly.

Melt is proudly supported by Tourism Events Queensland and Brisbane Economic Development Agency.
