Night Feast

Brisbane’s dazzling culinary spectacular Night Feast, presented by American Express, returns to Brisbane Powerhouse with a vibrant Spring feasting menu of bold new flavours, immersive art and live music from October 15 to November 9, 2025.

Now in its fourth season, Night Feast transforms the Brisbane Powerhouse precinct into an immersive playground of large-scale art installations, live DJ sets and irresistible food from 20 renowned dining establishments.

Crowd favourites including Southside, LouisB, Wonderbao, Gelato Messina, La Mano, Bugster’s, Hoy Pinoy, Byblos, Donna Chang, Calida and Lek’s Thai return—this year with a new concept: Siam Smashhouse. The Sapporo Izakaya x Boom Boom Room also returns, pouring a selection of brews including Sapporo Black and expertly paired with a lavish menu from Japanese restaurant and bar, Boom Boom Room.

Turning up the heat, Night Feast welcomes Southbank’s modern Italian Otto Brisbane; Latin-infused OLÉ; Hawthorne’s beloved Downtown Istanbul; West End’s spice-loaded Layla; hidden cocktail gem Nok Nok collaborating with Honey & Yolko; Melbourne’s Burn City Smokers, plus world-famous Lune, baking their iconic croissants after dark for the very first time.

To delight festival attendees, for 2025, each restaurant will be creating a Night Feast exclusive dish a one time only experience you won’t find anywhere else. Exclusive dishes include Otto Brisbane’s deep fried lasagne bites, a Filipino classic, Lechon Baka by Hoy Pinoy and Lune’s limited-edition nighttime creation the Lamington Croissant Cube. These exclusive offerings are available only during Night Feast, once they’re gone, they’re gone. It’s a must do for food lovers and culture seekers alike.

Night Feast is a feast for all the senses, pairing extraordinary food with a vibrant program of free art and music. Running alongside the city-wide Melt Festival of Queer Arts and Culture, Night Feast welcomes local and international artists to transform Brisbane Powerhouse and its surrounds.

Returning artist Leeroy New will unveil his latest installation, Tubignon. while Brisbane-based Micah Rustichelli presents Demon Rhythm, a large-scale exhibition taking over the Fairfax Studio and acclaimed multidisciplinary artists Luke George and Daniel Kok present Still Lives: Brisbane —a striking performance installation that uses rope to bind bodies and cultural objects within their environment.

From sunset until late, a side of the rhythmic pulse of QUIVR DJs will keep the energy high and the crowd moving all night long. And for those seeking a luxe moment, the American Express Garden Lounge is back—a lush escape for American Express Card Members to access, complete with an exclusive bar and unbeatable comfort away from the crowd.
