India's beloved singer-songwriter **Anuv Jain** brings his highly anticipated ***Dastakhat World Tour 2026*** to **The Triffid, Brisbane** for one unforgettable night of emotion, melody, and magic.

From the introspective *Baarishein* that first captured hearts across the world, to chart-topping hits like *Husn*, *Afsos*, and *Jo Tum Mere Ho*, Anuv Jain has built a sound that feels deeply personal yet universally relatable. His music, woven with themes of love, loss, and longing, has resonated with millions - earning him over **1.5 billion streams globally** and cementing his place as one of India's most celebrated independent voices.

The *Dastakhat World Tour* marks the final chapter in Anuv's acclaimed trilogy of tours - following *Dastakein* (2021) and *Guldasta* (2023). Each tour reflects a distinct stage in his creative evolution: from his first &ldquo;knock&rdquo; on audiences' hearts, to the bouquet of songs that blossomed into his signature sound, culminating now in *Dastakhat* - his personal &ldquo;signature&rdquo; moment. This tour is both a culmination and a new beginning, carrying his poetic storytelling to fans around the globe.

 Anuv's live performances are known for their warmth, authenticity, and connection. Audiences can expect a soul-stirring evening featuring his full live band, intimate lighting design, and the effortless charm that has made his concerts sell out across India, the UK, the Middle East, and beyond. Whether it's the familiar ache of ***Baarishein*** or the lush textures of ***Husn***, each song unfolds like a handwritten letter - honest, heartfelt, and unhurried.

Having graced stages such as Mumbai's NSCI Dome, Dubai Coca-Cola Arena, and arenas across the UK and New Zealand, Anuv now returns to Australia for five exclusive shows - **Perth, Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, and Adelaide**. His Brisbane performance promises a breathtaking night of storytelling through song, where every lyric becomes a line in his musical signature - his *Dastakhat*.

Recognised in **Forbes Asia's 30 Under 30** and **GQ India's 35 Most Influential Young Indians**, Anuv's artistry extends beyond music. He has collaborated with global platforms like **Coke Studio Bharat**, **UN LIVE's Sounds Right**, and artists such as **AP Dhillon** and **Lost Stories**, bridging genres and cultures through sincerity and sound.

Join us on **Sunday 9 August 2026** at **The Triffid,**, as Anuv Jain invites Brisbane into his world - one where every note feels like a conversation and every performance leaves a mark.

Up All Night: One Direction 16th Anniversary Party - Brisbane

The Masters Apprentices, the legendary home-grown Oz rock band spanning more than six decades, return to the stage featuring original 1960s founding members Mick Bower (guitarist and composer) and Brian Vaughton (drums). Vocalist Craig Holden leads the band, with Bill Harrod (bass) and Dan Matejcic (guitar) completing the powerhouse line-up.

For this special Brisbane performance the band will be joined by original songwriter and guitarist Doug Ford, who will make a special guest appearance performing selected songs during the show. This marks the first time the principal songwriters from both eras of the Masters Apprentices will share the stage together.

In the 1960s the Masters Apprentices became a rock'n'roll and rhythm & blues institution alongside The Aztecs, The Loved Ones, The Twilights and The Easybeats, taking Australia by storm. Now, celebrating more than 60 years of music, the band reunites to rock out once again with a repertoire that returns to their original 60s garage band roots.

Hear the early hits penned by Mick Bower including &ldquo;Living In A Child's Dream,&rdquo; &ldquo;Wars or Hands of Time&rdquo; and &ldquo;Undecided,&rdquo; alongside classic songs written by Doug Ford including &ldquo;Think About Tomorrow Today,&rdquo; &ldquo;Turn Up Your Radio&rdquo; and &ldquo;Because I Love You,&rdquo; and much more.

With both of the band's defining songwriters appearing on the same stage, this rare performance offers a unique opportunity to experience the full musical legacy of one of Australia's most important rock bands.
