Danny Brown – Open Season 2026

Danny Brown has never made the obvious record. The Detroit rapper’s catalogue runs from the visceral street narratives of XXX to the psychedelic chaos of Atrocity Exhibition and the raw, introspective Quaranta, a body of work that earned him a home on Warp Records and a reputation as one of hip-hop’s most genuinely fearless artists.

Stardust, his sixth album, arrives as his first made in sobriety, and it sounds like someone who has cleared the static and found something stranger and more joyful underneath: hyperpop, EDM and house music tangled up with Brown’s singular delivery, featuring collaborators from the furthest reaches of underground electronic music. Recovery rap from someone who always made music as a full-body experience. It still hits that way live.

Danny Brown plays The Princess Theatre for Open Season. For the ones who know there’s nothing like him.

Open Season is The Tivoli Group’s annual program of music, art and cultural events, transforming Brisbane into a winter playground for live performance each year.
