Felix Riebl live in Newstead

Experience Felix Riebl live on July 26th

Felix Riebl will be performing at The Triffid in Newstead, Queensland, Australia on July 26, 2026. Riebl is best known as the frontman and primary songwriter for the Australian indie-pop band The Cat Empire, though this performance represents a solo outing. His musical style blends elements of jazz, ska, funk, Latin rhythms and folk influences, often featuring lyrical storytelling and dynamic instrumentation. Solo work continues to explore similar sonic territories but allows for a more focused expression of his songwriting.

The Triffid is a live music venue located in Newstead, Brisbane. Opened in 2014, it was designed and built utilising materials salvaged from the former Fortitude Valley Police and Courts building which was demolished in 2013. This architectural approach gives the venue a distinctive industrial aesthetic. It’s known for its high-quality sound system and intimate concert space capable of holding approximately 800 patrons. The Triffid regularly hosts both established and emerging artists across a variety of genres, becoming a significant fixture on Brisbane’s live music scene. It operates as an independent venue committed to supporting live performance.
