Over the weekend (and preceding weeks) we bade farewell to The Zoo with some of our most memorable gigs ever.

Thank you thank you THANK YOU to all the artists who graced the stage during our final weeks, anyone who bought tickets to a show, and of course our amazing team at Zoo HQ for making it all possible.

We are infinitely grateful for the unforgettable moments we’ve shared - the countless nights of dancing, singing, and moshing across decades (!!!)

We urge you to continue backing your local scene and help keep live music alive in Brisbane and beyond.

DON’T STOP advocating for live music. We must continue to make our voices heard and do what we can to protect venues from the financial challenges that are threatening their survival nationwide.

Yours forever,
Zoo HQ
