The Buttery Queer Open Mic

Three musicians perform energetically on stage. The photo is black and white with pink doodles: a crown, star, paint splatters, and devil horns are added to the band members and instruments.

Bringing community spirit to The Junk Bar, The Buttery Music School hosts two nights of queer-led open mics, followed by sets from some of Brisbane’s favourite queer musicians. Whether you’re a bedroom songwriter, a brand new band, or a seasoned pro testing new material — this is your stage.

In true Melt spirit, expect a warm and inclusive room where every mistake is cheered and every original song is a win. Wednesday’s session is adults only, while Sunday’s is open to all ages.

Highlights:

  • Open mic slots for emerging and established queer artists
  • Curated sets by Brissy’s fav queer musicians
  • Adults-only Wednesday, all-ages Sunday

Don’t miss out — your voice belongs here. Bring your original songs, your bravery, and your joy.
