Dinner Before Sparks — Glasshouse Theatre, QPAC
Cult art-rock duo Sparks — Ron and Russell Mael — bring their iconic and utterly unique live show to Brisbane for one night only at the Glasshouse Theatre, QPAC.
The show plays at the Glasshouse Theatre, QPAC on 30 May 2026. With five decades of brilliantly odd, genre-defying pop and rock, Sparks deliver a live experience that is simultaneously hilarious, thrilling and unlike anything else. Make a proper night of it at South Bank.
Concert venues have strict entry — once doors close for a headline act, access may be limited. Here's how to plan your evening:
| Show time | Arrive for dinner | Allows for | Walk to QPAC |
|---|---|---|---|
| 8:00pm | 6:00pm | 2 courses + drinks | Leave by 7:50pm |
| 8:00pm | 6:30pm | 2 courses | Leave by 7:50pm |
| 8:00pm | 5:45pm | 3 courses | Leave by 7:50pm |
