Battles and Jam

Presented by Live at South Bank, in partnership with Brisbane Street Art Festival, muralists, dancers and musicians going head-to-head in an exciting line up.

Produced by Nfuze Events, high-powered and dynamic dancers bust a move showcasing their style, creativity, and freestyle skills in a 1 vs 1 Open Style dance battle – reacting to a range of tracks mixed by DJ Seb One (MOPTOP Family, SYD/HK) – creating freestyle magic as they move.

Fusing the energy and subversion that makes this counterculture movement so globally loved, the event also sees the return of the ever-popular Scribble Slam. Cheer on as two muralists and street artists race each other and the clock in a live clash of colour and creativity in this high-intensity art challenge. Bounce to the rhythms and lyrical genius of acts like Tjaka, alongside beatboxers, emcees and deejays as they pump up the jams, spinning the freshest cuts throughout the night.

In true street style, it’s free! No tickets needed, just gather your crew and head to South Bank Parklands.

Drinks will be available for purchase from a fully licensed bar by Hop and Pickle and tasty eats from pop-up food stalls onsite - Bills Burgers and Oh Waffles.
