The temperature may be dropping but, thankfully, Fireside is back and blazing ahead this year! The captivating events of the Fireside program kick off at HOTA on Friday August 13 and will continue through to September 12, inviting audiences to enjoy the incredible line-up of things to see, do and devour. Among the upcoming activities is cult favourites, Killer Queens, who will cause some glorious chaos in an entertaining evening on August 14, followed by Australian legend Ben Lee, who will perform in collaboration with BLEACH* Festival on Saturday August 21.

If you’re keen to grab a bite while you’re at it, check out the brand-new Palette restaurant or The Exhibitionist Bar, or make the most of HOTA Gallery’s Friday night opening until 8:00 pm and check out the exhibitions before your show.
