It’s the second year the RNB Fridays Live concert series has toured Australia, but the first time the Brisbane leg has been held at the Showgrounds. Brisbane Showgrounds General Manager of Venue Sales and Marketing Jago Coyle said they were thrilled the event organisers had chosen their venue to host the popular R&B party. “We’re looking forward to welcoming R&B stars from the US, UK Jamaica and Melbourne this weekend, along with tens of thousands of local music fans,” he said. “As Queensland’s largest indoor / outdoor events site we host many large music festivals.
