Proudly presented by South Bank and QPAC.

On the Banks is a new outdoor live music series held on the Cultural Forecourt in March 2026.

Featuring a diverse list of Australian and international headliners and supporting artists, On the Banks brings a melting pot of alternative, pop, garage, R&B, and hip-hop sounds to South Bank. Tickets are on sale now here.

‍

When you’re heading to On The Banks at Cultural Forecourt, the night should start well before the music does. South Bank’s dining scene has stepped up with a stack of pre On The Banks dinner offers designed for shared banquets, crowd-pleasing menus and easy, well-timed meals that still leave you perfectly placed for the first set. Check out the best pre-show dining deals in South Bank here.
