Last night, at a Business South Bank event, new Brisbane Festival Artistic Director, Louise Bezzina announced that the festival hub would remain in the South Bank precinct.  The Brisbane Festival hub has traditionally been located in the Cultural Forecourt but due to impending construction taking place in the precinct, the forecourt will not be available.

Louise announced that following talks with South Bank Corporation and City Parklands Services a new venue had been found.

The 2020 event will be themed BOLDLY BRISBANE.
