Brisbane’s favourite record store Jet Black Cat Music is teaming up with Handsome Tours to bring back the Nine Lives Festival for it's third year! A one-day, three-stage event to take place at the iconic Tivoli, Nine Lives promises to be a very Brissy block party for lovers of tunes, friends and community. The music will take place across two stages. Indoors will be the gorgeous main theatre inside the Tivoli as well as the What’s Golden room where live music will take place. Outdoors will be a bazaar of food-trucks, sausage sizzles, record crates, market stalls and activities for one and all.

Nine Lives will take place at the Tivoli at 52 Costin St, Fortitude Valley QLD 4006. The festival will be both inside the Theatre and with DJs outside in the carpark.

Nine Lives will take place on Saturday March 4 2023 from 11.30AM - 12AM. Exact set times will be released closer to the event!
