This January, Byron Bay slips behind the velvet curtain once again as The Byron Speakeasy returns for its highly anticipated second season – six nights of world-class music, vintage glamour and after-dark summer magic that promises to be even more extraordinary than its acclaimed debut.
The Byron Theatre transforms into a prohibition-era bar where candlelit tables, handcrafted cocktails and an atmosphere of playful decadence invite you to escape the summer crowds and savour something truly special. This is where the night feels magical again – intimate, refined and captivating.
The 2026 program presents an exceptional lineup of compelling artists, each bringing their unique artistry to this intimate cabaret setting.
Jazz legend Nicki Parrott opens the series with her internationally celebrated bass playing and sublime vocals. Brendan MacLean brings his magnetic theatrical energy and powerhouse voice that defies categorisation. The incomparable Pat Powell delivers four decades of soul, blues and reggae mastery with his warm, storytelling voice. Northern Rivers favourites Hussy Hicks showcase their genre-blending sound and electrifying live energy. Blues-soul powerhouse Karise Eden captivates with the emotional intensity that has made her one of Australia’s most distinctive voices. The series concludes with Emma Pask, whose effortless elegance and powerful vocal ability embodies the classic era of jazz.
Each evening is curated as a unique experience – different headliners, distinct moods and soundtracks that move seamlessly from intimate cabaret moments to dance-floor energy as the night unfolds.
Whether you’re seeking refuge from Byron’s holiday chaos or searching for the must-do summer experience, The Byron Speakeasy offers a night out unlike anything else in the region – where music, cocktails and summer nights collide in perfect harmony.
Tickets are limited and expected to sell quickly. Step inside the secret world of The Byron Speakeasy.
