I'm a musician and would like to play Valley Fiesta, how can I apply?
All artist and program lineup has been directly organised with the venues. The official venues have confirmed their lineup, but best to contact the venue directly for more information.
I am a venue, how can I take part in Valley Fiesta?
The official Valley Fiesta venues took part in an EOI process earlier in the year and have been selected as part of a process between QMusic and Brisbane City Council. Even though the 2021 official venues have been confirmed, you are welcome to email info@qmusic.com.au to request to be an unofficial venue. To be considered as an unofficial venue, your program must meet the criteria of "emerging and heritage acts" and also be within the Fortitude Valley Live Entertainment Precinct.
Are there any media or reviewer passes available?
Media and reviewer passes are extremely limited due to the nature of COVID Safe Events and will be approved by each venue on a case-by-case basis. If you would like to enquire about a reviewer ticket or a photographers pass, please contact SGC by 10 October– and your request will be sent onto the organisers.
For any media enquiries, please contact Mitch Fresta, SGC Media at mitch@sgcmedia.com.
