Briz Chilli Fest, launched in 2018, has gathered a loyal following amongst chilli heads, but has rebranded to Queensland Superhot, as a sister festival to the new Sydney Superhot brand which launched successfully in May 2025.

All the usual fun of Scarlett Habanero's professionally-run chilli festivals will be doubled and patrons can attend for one or both days.

To celebrate the new branding, there will be a Fiery Fiesta Afterparty in the Ballistic Brewhouse, featuring a fiery latin band with a professional dance show and interactive lessons on the Saturday night.
