The Big Brass Barbecue will transform HOTA’s outdoor stage into a summer of soaring horns, infectious rhythms, and funk and soul sounds.
The January 23 long weekend evening of music at the Home of the Arts on the Gold Coast will be led by The Cat Empire – an internationally-celebrated Australian band renowned for their live performances and ability to blend genres.
They will be joined by Melbourne New Orleans-style brass band Horns of Leroy featuring THNDO, and Brisbane’s nine-piece funk-rock outfit The Steele Syndicate.
The Gold Coast City Brass Band, which celebrates 125 years in 2027 will also perform.
There will be barbecue food trucks serving smoky favourites, outdoor bars, and plenty of space to gather with friends and family of all ages.
HOTA Commercial Programming Director Mark Duckworth said the event was back for a second year and was quickly becoming a summer highlight for music lovers.
“Big Brass Barbecue is everything we love about summer at HOTA, with incredible live music, a spectacular outdoor setting, and an atmosphere that brings people together,” Mr Duckworth said.
