The Brightside Brisbane

No need to say, if you’re into Japanese rock or metal, this concert is one of the best in 2023

The boys were insane. One of my favourite bands whose music means a lot to me and they didn’t disappoint. Absolute vibes, incredible music and so much love in the building. BEST NIGHT EVER ❤️

One of my best this year.. band played amazing, sound was great, atmosphere was awesome. They played all the bangers that I expected ❤️🤘

This was a madness had so much fun and the staff at the Brightside were all so lovely especially stamp lady at the front!

Performance was sensational. Venue was trash I mean it was so hot that the band cut the set short and were sweating. Chrissy and the rest of the band complained about the venue constantly, the body heat was insane. Also all the taller people were at the front making it absurd to see, my girlfriend missed half the show. Overall, I would love to see these guys again and would put up with the venue. However, most other bands playing at this venue I'd ignore because of how bad it is.

i'd heard that alex lahey put on a phenomenal live show and that was definitely proved correct at this show! front and centre at, had the absolute time of my life and i will most definitely be trying to catch her live again!

Was better than I could’ve imagined! Cap is truly a rising star, great soulful music and his story from humble beginnings. I’m going to remember meeting the guy and definitely going to his next local show.

One of the best concerts I have ever been to! Thank you Running Touch and crew for putting on an incredible show

Wow what an amazing show!!! High energy southern rock blues with The Sheepdogs magic. They had the joint Rockin from start to finish. Their harmonies reminded me of the Eagles and guitar solos of Allman Brothers. Loved Ryan's digs and grooves. Ewan's soulful voice reminded me of Terry Kath CTA. Ricky's guitar work was killer and Sam's drumming was top notch. Shamus switched between guitar tambourine and piano and played cool solos on vintage keys which took me back to 70s. Next time Shamus bring your trombone please! Thanks so much guys for taking the time to sign my teenage nephew's tshirt. He loved the show and was blown away when you played Whipping Post for encore which he plays in his band Writer's Tongue. You guys are stars and I love that you're humble. Stay true to yourselves and your music. Come back soon. 💫✨💙 Rosie

Incredible energy of the band. Loved the way the lead singer engaged with the crowd. The pit was a little too hectic.

Great Gable are an awesome band! There’s so much energy and good sound they share with the crowd. Hope they had fun playing for the brissy crowd. I would see them again! Their lives performances are solid-ground dance alongs.

The whole event was amazing, just wish everyone had played for longer! For a Friday night it seemed to end too early!

Make them Suffer were amazing! Super tight; hard to believe they hadn't performed in three years. I've never been so exhausted after a gig, it was so intense. The set was pretty much all I hoped for but Blood Moon was my favourite of the night. So glad I got to see them!!!

The front act and the main act was really great! We enjoyed the whole show except for when we’re waiting for BLG after the RJA’s performance and there were some drunk and possibly drugged girls who were not even VIP attendees and boasting that they didn’t have to pay much but they can still push their way into the front. They were very rowdy and was pushing us out of where we’re standing. So disgraceful! Yes I understand that it’s a rock concert but none of the others acted like they did before they decided to crash the front row. Anyway, I still enjoyed the show despite feeling annoyed at those ladies.

Cannot explain how amazing the whole thing was, every band was amazing and held an awesome atmosphere! Also got to meet Joey afterwards and was completely blown away by how nice and humble he is! Shared some stories and thanked him and the band for doing more than they might know with their music. Please come back soon.

The entire gig was great the line-up was stacked and every band played great and FFAA were epic couldn't really asked for more except come back to Australia soon please!

After seeing fit for a king and paledusk at the triffid the weekend before it was good to see the energy of the band still going strong, unfortunately the sound quality at the brightside has still not improved which was a let down. Epic bands, bad acoustics

The Brightside had no aircon. It got extremely hot. The fire alarm went off halfway through Thornhills set. We were evacuated. Too hard to get back into the venue once we were evacuated.

Saw them in London last month, absolutely loved seeing them again and thanks to Mitch for coming out to say hey!
