The vibrancy of Fortitude Valley is about to get a whole lot brighter as Valley Fiesta returns on September 12-14, 2008.

The FREE celebration of music, food, dance and art has long been a staple in the social calendar of Brisbanites. Now, the legendary local music scene is once again under the national spotlight as scores of national and local acts descend on The Valley Entertainment Precinct for three days of alcohol- free outdoor entertainment for all ages.

With the music industry’s eye already on Brisbane this September as part of Valley Fiesta Associated Event, Q Music’s Big Sound conference, Fiesta is giving Brisbane’s emerging acts the opportunity to show conference delegates and the public their mettle, performing alongside established artists on the three Fiesta stages. An emerging artist is a band or artist in the early stages of their career who has played some shows at a professional level but hasn’t yet established a solid reputation. They will join the cream of Australian bands and artists.
