STONES CORNER FESTIVAL RETURNS
FOR ITS 11TH YEAR WITH A SHOWSTOPPING STREET PARTY LINEUP

On Sunday, May 3, Stones Corner Festival returns for its 11th year, taking over the streets once again for one of Brisbane’s most beloved community celebrations. What began as a humble local gathering has grown into a full-blown cultural moment, bringing together live music, local legends, food trucks, market stalls and feel-good energy in every corner. After more than a decade of unforgettable performances and packed-out Sunday sessions, 2026 is shaping up to be bigger, louder and more electric than ever. And leading the charge? A lineup that spans iconic acts, homegrown heroes, and high-energy crowd experiences you won’t want to miss.

ROGUE TRADERS

Get ready for a full-throttle throwback as Rogue Traders make their legendary return to the stage. Known for fusing rock energy with dancefloor anthems, the ARIA-nominated icons dominated the 2000s with hits like Voodoo Child, Watching You and Way to Go! With powerhouse vocalist Natalie Bassingthwaighte back alongside the original lineup, the band is riding a fresh wave of momentum off the back of new music and a huge national tour announcement. Expect big vocals, bigger nostalgia, and a set that proves the dancefloor still belongs to them.

SUPER DISCO CLUB

When the sun starts to dip, SUPER DISCO CLUB is here to turn things all the way up. The brainchild of DJ and producer Andy Van (Madison Avenue) and vocalist Cassie Van, SDC delivers a euphoric mix of disco classics, ‘80s hooks, ‘90s energy and modern house beats. Think big vocals, feel-good anthems and a dancefloor that doesn’t quit. It’s a glittering, high-energy set designed to keep the party going well into the evening.

GIDDY UP STRUT FT. NASHVILLE JUKEBOX

Get ready to dust off your boots, because Giddy Up Strut is bringing the ultimate honky-tonk experience to Stones Corner. Channelling the electric energy of Nashville’s Broadway strip, this high-octane set delivers all the feel-good chaos of a country bar takeover, right in the heart of Brisbane. Backed by powerhouse live band Nashville Jukebox, expect a singalong-packed set of modern country hits from the likes of Luke Combs, Jelly Roll and Lainey Wilson, plus plenty more crowd favourites. This isn’t just a performance, it’s a full-blown Nashville party built for boot-stomping, hands-in-the-air moments and a dancefloor that doesn’t quit.

QUEENS COUNTRY LINE DANCING

Queens Country Line Dancing is one of Australia’s fastest-growing modern line dancing communities, and they’re ready to get Stones Corner moving. Founded by best friends Sammi and Christine, Queens doesn’t just perform; they get the whole crowd involved. From high-energy teaching sessions to full dancefloor takeovers, their sets are all about connection, community and letting loose. With a rapidly growing following across festivals, major country events and community dance nights, Queens Country is turning every appearance into a feel-good, boots-on-the-ground celebration.

RAY BEADLE

A true master of his craft, Ray Beadle brings soul, grit and three decades of blues experience to the stage. Known for his electrifying guitar work and deeply expressive vocals, Ray’s sound pays homage to blues legends while carving out something entirely his own. From local haunts to international stages, his performances are rich with authenticity and feeling; this is blues at its most real and powerful.

JOHN HANLEY WITH DON’T SHOOT THE HURRICANE

One of the most powerful moments of the festival comes courtesy of John Hanley and Don’t Shoot the Hurricane. Living with Motor Neurone Disease for nine years, John continues to embody his mantra: “If you have air in your lungs, you should be using it.” Backed by his mates in this local Brisbane band, his performance is a moving reminder of resilience, joy and the power of music. Supported by the MND and Me Foundation, the festival’s charity partner, this set is as meaningful as it is memorable.

LAUREL HILL

Fresh, sun-soaked and straight off a statewide tour, Gold Coast four-piece Laurel Hill are bringing their indie/surf rock sound to Stones Corner. With the release of their debut EP, the band is quickly building momentum thanks to catchy hooks, breezy guitars and an effortlessly cool stage presence. They’re the perfect soundtrack to a Sunday session: easygoing, energetic and made for dancing in the street.

Mark your calendars, Brisbane, because this is your invitation to get amongst it, dance, and celebrate community like never before.
