The BUg (Brisbane Unplugged gigs) is a beloved music event (and maybe Brisbane’s best-kept secret) that happens every Tuesday night at its current home at the New Farm Bowls Club. It has been operating now for over 20 years.
The BUg is hosting its second one-day fund-raiser festival (BUgFest) at The Cave Inn on Brisbane’s southside on Saturday 2 August 2025.
What to expect?
If you love acoustic music, singer/songwriters, Celtic vibes, alt country, Indie folk, this is the festival for you!
Some of the BUG’s favourite performers will be on the bill for an event that will start at 3.30 and finish around 10.30pm.
