 2010, QBE Riverfire will be staged as part of Brisbane Festival’s opening extravaganza on Saturday 4 September.
Aircraft displays
Don't miss the Australian Defence Force's jam-packed programme at South Bank featuring aircraft displays, drills and live music.
At 5.00pm the Roulettes* take off for a fantastic aerial display and then, when the sun goes down, the awesome F-111* strike jets make their final curtain call.
Radio broadcast
From 7.00pm tune into 104.5 FM for Triple M's outside broadcast of the fireworks extravaganza. The inspiring soundtrack, shaped by Creative Director Tony Assness, will feature thumping primal sounds of drums and didgeridoos, electronic beats, classical masterpieces, retro tunes and today's popular hits - all designed to trigger the pyrotechnic display for maximum impact.
Live TV broadcast
For those who celebrate at home, you can catch all the spectacle by tuning into the special live broadcast statewide on Channel Nine from 6.30pm.
