Have you ever wanted to follow in your favourite artist’s footsteps? Well, thanks to Grammy award-winning jazz-pop artist Laufey, now you can!
The singer-songwriter has been celebrating A Very Laufey Day since 2022, inviting her fans each year to experience some of the spots she loves in cities around the world, emphasising art in all its forms, and Brissy made the cut!
Every activity suggestion is paired with the perfect track, so you can really embrace Main Character Energy and feel like you’re starring in your own movie this Sunday, August 23.
A Very Laufey Day in Brisbane
Laufey starts out with a classic, suggesting a visit to QAGOMA, the perfect spot to get swept away by art. If you’re feeling overwhelmed by the sheer scale and number of exhibitions and the museum, don’t worry, the superstar has you covered with a museum guide! Complete with a playlist to listen to as you wander, the guide also includes prompts that’ll help you go a bit deeper than “I like this painting”, asking engaging questions that’ll make connecting with the works just a little easier.
Once you’ve soaked in all the art you can and are feeling inspired, refuel with ‘A Berry Laufey Day with Laufberries’ ice cream from a selected Shiro Gelato & Snack store. There’s nothing better than a frozen treat to nosh on as you make your way around the city, and it’ll leave you in the perfect mood to enjoy everything else the day has in store.
Next stop: it’s time to get your bookworm on! Laufey’s next stop is iconic bookshop Dymocks, where you can check out the latest Laufey Book Club reads, and curl up with your pick.
A cultural day around Brisbane wouldn’t be complete without a visit to the gorgeous City Hall Clock Tower. Romanticise the old-world charm of the building and let nostalgia for the days of yore take over, as you gaze at one of the city’s most recognisable landmarks.
Fashion is art too, of course, so what better than stopping at Bloom for some pre-loved treasures. It’s no secret that Brisbane has some incredible op shops, and this one is no exception: vintage silhouettes, classic colors, and pieces that feel like they have a story… In short, everything that makes clothing special.
Last but certainly not least, Laufey Day wouldn’t be Laufey day if music didn’t get its moment in the spotlight! Take a trip to a local record store and pick an album to bring home with you. Whether its an old favourite, or a hidden gem, there is nothing better than holding the power of music in your hands.
Plus, if you happen to be in Melbourne, you can’t miss Candlelight x Laufey: A Very Laufey Day, an intimate acoustic concert surrounded by thousands of flickering candles, in which local musicians will play orchestral string-quartet arrangements of her songs.
Whatever you decide to do, celebrating the arts, vintage style and slow living is a surefire way to make memories and give meaning to your day. Learn more about A Very Laufey Day here.
