Lord Mayor's Christmas Carols

It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas with the return of the much-loved Lord Mayor’s Christmas Carols taking to Brisbane's Riverstage on Saturday, December 10, 2022.

The two-hour spectacle of song and celebration showcases some of Australia’s best and brightest stars and again draws inspiration from Radio City Music Hall’s renowned holiday variety shows.

Produced by The Little Red Company and hosted by Queensland’s first lady of song, Naomi Price, the unmissable event welcomes a cavalcade of superstars from stage, screen and song to entertain audiences of all ages; including Sheppard, Johnny Manuel, and star of the smash-hit musical Mary Poppins, Stefanie Jones.

Australia’s kings of swing, Swing on This, featuring Luke Kennedy, Matt Lee, Ben Mingay and Bert LaBonté - making his debut performance with the quartet - croon their way through Christmas classics and festive favourites.

Powerhouse vocalists Lai Utovou, Prinnie Stevens and Rachel Everett-Jones, soprano Eva Kong, and Alinta Chidzey (star of Moulin Rouge! The Musical) all make their Lord Mayor’s Christmas Carols debut this year, alongside popular returnees Jem Cassar-Daley, Irena Lysiuk and Angela Fabian.

Audience favourites The Jingle Belles return in 2022 with 18 elite, hand-picked dancers set to dazzle under the direction of superstar choreographer Kate Wormald.

Auslan interpretation, audio description, on-screen captioning and dedicated access for wheelchair uses means more people have the opportunity to enjoy a truly accessible Lord Mayor’s Christmas Carols.
