On the Banks – Marina

26 FEBRUARY 2026

Cultural Forecourt, South Bank

Marina steps back onto Australian soil this February, for the first time since 2011, when she performed at Falls Festival, Field Day, and a headline show at Sydney's Factory Theatre. Her return arrives with the success of Princess of Power, a euphoric, high-energy exploration of healing, empowerment, and self-reclamation.

Written during a period of deep personal reflection, Princess of Power represents a turning point for the platinum-selling artist. Where 2021's Ancient Dreams in a Modern Land looked outward at a fractured world, this new chapter turns inward – embracing vulnerability as strength, transforming pain into power, and celebrating the radical optimism of love.

Now releasing independently through her own label, Queenie Records, in partnership with BMG, MARINA sheds old expectations and steps fully into her own. The album pulses with disco-lit electro pop and lyrical declarations of freedom, feminine energy, and love. Tracks like "Butterfly" and "Cupid's Girl" capture a woman reborn – thriving wholly on her own terms.

It's Marina as you've never seen her, yet never more herself, right here On the Banks in Brisbane. Brisbane-born songwriter Mallrat joins Marina as the special guest at On the Banks.
