You can’t keep a good cat down.

Brisbane’s favourite record store Jet Black Cat Music and Handsome Tours are proud to announce that Nine Lives Festival will return to Fortitude Valley’s The Tivoli for its third annual edition on Saturday March 4, 2023.

Headlined by US singer-songwriter Angel Olsen, Nine Lives Festival is honoured to host a carefully curated lineup of international artists including New York’s Crumb, LA’s Drugdealer and Niger’s Mdou Moctar, and a selection of hand-picked homegrown favourites including No Zu, Bones & Jones, Folk Bitch Trio, Girl And Girl, FELIVAND + more.

Back and better than ever, the beloved Brissy block party will return to Fortitude Valley’s iconic live music institution The Tivoli in 2023 with live performances taking place across two stages over one glorious day. Nine Lives is also thrilled to welcome a summertime bazaar of food-trucks serving up some of the city’s most delicious bites, record crates, market stalls and activities for one and all to be announced.
