NQMP Gig Guide

Cairns Gig Guide

All the good stuff, none of the guff..

A carefully curated gig guide that only shows all the best live gigs Cairns has to offer.  We did the legwork for you so you don’t have to wade through a million cabaret acts, DJs, open mic nights and face painters to find a decent live gig.

If you would like to list your gigs in Cairns gig Guide please email editor@nqmusicpress.com with all the pertinent details or send us a link to your Facebook event and we can grab the data off there. Gigs where original music is at least 1hr or 50% of the show please, no cover/cabaret gigs/DJs/Face Painters.   Please only list gigs that give musos a chance to get paid. 

NQ Music Press supports a sustainable original local music industry & venues that allow musicians to make a living.
