On Friday 21/11/2025, 151 guests booked an ABBA Live night in Springfield, out in Brisbane's west. No room across the CONNECT network topped it in the two years to 10/10/2026. If you want to advertise in Brisbane to people who are out, relaxed and ready for a good time, look past the river, because the city's biggest Paint night happened in a growth corridor.
Paint Juicy CONNECT is the partnership side of Paint Juicy ("Paint"), and it gives local businesses a part in those nights that guests actually welcome. This page sticks to greater Brisbane: the northside, the inner city, Ipswich and Springfield, and Logan. Everything that applies across the whole program, including the rules we never bend, sits on the Paint Juicy CONNECT hub.

Brisbane, Ipswich and Logan in Paint's sales book
Springfield's ABBA night is the headline, and it has good company. Across the CONNECT network, Paint rooms have sailed past 100 on the Gold Coast, the Sunshine Coast, the Wide Bay and out through regional NSW, and greater Brisbane holds the top score of the lot. The hub keeps the full run of big nights. Here's how the map breaks down closer to home.

Why the growth corridors are where Brisbane gets loud
Brisbane's biggest Paint room didn't happen within walking distance of the CBD. It happened in Springfield, where 151 people booked the same Friday night, and that tracks with how these suburbs live.
Our hunch: inner-city Saturdays offer a hundred options within walking distance, while a big night out in a growing suburb is rarer, so whole friendship groups book together, and they live, shop and book appointments nearby.

Why Paint Juicy CONNECT? Because Paint Juicy connects!
Greater Brisbane is full of people who spend the week in one council area and the weekend in another. Brisbane City Council's figures from the 2021 Census show that around a third of the people working in the city live outside it, with Logan and Ipswich among the biggest sources. She might sit at a desk in the CBD all week, then come home to a street in Ripley or Yarrabilba where she has barely met the neighbours.
A Paint night changes that. The woman from three doors down knows every word of the same Bee Gees song, and a table of workmates becomes a group chat that actually meets up. By the encore they're mates, the old songs feel new again and everyone has a canvas for the hallway. CONNECT lets your business join that circle without interrupting it.

Brisbane advertising, minus the traffic noise
You've probably been here. A radio quote for a city of 1.4 million comes back bigger than you hoped, because every car yard and franchise wants the same airtime. TV feels like a budget for national chains. Last month's boosted post earned a dozen likes, some from people a toll road away who were never going to visit. Fair worries, from someone spending their own money.
Think about the moment your spot actually plays. It's sound and nothing else, caught stop-start on the Ipswich Motorway at knock-off time, with the indicator ticking, a call coming through the car speakers and the sat-nav cutting in about a lane change. The feed is a quick thumb on the train home. Both channels can earn a place in your plan. Neither lets her taste, try or take home what you sell.
We contain the noise. A Paint room in Marsden or Springfield is up to 3 hours of one night, real people in real seats with nothing else competing for the space, and out west one of those rooms has already held 151. Your business can be heard between songs, shown on the screen, set on the table beside her glass, worked into the canvas she's painting, poured as a tasting where the venue signs off, carried home in a bag, then swapped at your counter for a freebie picked with her in mind. Paint plays rooms right across Queensland and New South Wales, and this format is one Paint is pioneering. The owner's version of this argument lives on the small business advertising page, while the hub explains why Paint contains the noise.

One city, three corners: how a campaign could play out
CONNECT is built on five big ideas behind CONNECT. Every item on the full CONNECT menu hangs off one of them. Across greater Brisbane the right mix changes with the postcode, so below are three illustrations, one per corner of the map, none of them a past client.

ABBA, the 70s and 80s and Homegrown Hits: where heritage brands belong
Call us what we are: Paint are peak nostalgia makers, and a theme's whole job is to drop a room back into its favourite decade. Greater Brisbane keeps proving it: ABBA in Springfield, 80s and 90s nights from Ipswich to Yarrabilba, 70s and 80s nights at Everton Park and Ipswich, plus Homegrown Hits in Springfield. Once the chorus kicks in, nobody is thinking about shopping. They're back at the school disco.
That's prime ground for a business with decades of local history. A Brisbane brand that was around when these songs topped the charts, a lolly or soft drink back in its old-school wrapper, a record and vintage store, or an Ipswich jeweller that has sized rings for three generations of one family: all of them belong in that moment. Ipswich's 70s and 80s Thursdays are the obvious first conversation. The hub explains why peak nostalgia makers suit heritage and retro brands so well.

Brisbane, Ipswich and Logan businesses ask us
We're an inner-city business. Is CONNECT only for the outer suburbs?
Not at all. Paint plays the northside and the inner city as well as the growth corridors, so a boutique, café or studio near the CBD can back a night close to its own door. Your customers may also live further out than your shopfront suggests. Tell us your postcode and theirs, and we'll suggest the room that fits.
Our customers live in Logan or Ipswich but work in the city. Where should we show up?
Meet her where she relaxes: settled for up to 3 hours at a local Paint night with her own people. Your offer can still point back to town: a lunchtime voucher for your CBD café, or an after-work appointment near her office. Give each night its own code and you'll see which suburbs your city customers actually come from.
Where are Brisbane's biggest rooms?
Out west, so far. Springfield's 151 is the room every other Paint night is chasing, and the growth corridors keep delivering the crowds that make a partner's night. What we do promise is an honest read on how each night is tracking and a report on what was delivered, when and to how many paid seats. If a night doesn't suit your goals, we'll say so before you commit.
Can my brand be part of an ABBA night?
That's exactly the conversation to start. ABBA Live packed 151 into one Springfield room, and a partner who wants that energy can help shape where and when the next one lands. Tell us the crowd and the month you're after and we'll build the night around it.
What can a weeknight in Ipswich do that a Saturday can't?
A Thursday guest heads home with Friday still ahead of her, which makes it a strong night for an offer she can use tomorrow: a lunch, a blow-dry before the weekend, a Friday flower order. That makes a local café or restaurant the obvious next stop.
We're a sole trader without a shopfront. Can we still take part?
Yes. Most businesses here are tiny: 62.5 percent of Brisbane City's registered businesses have no employees, and 97.6 percent of Logan's have fewer than 20 staff. A mobile beautician, a home baker or an online gift business can take a goodie bag spot, a Town Pass page or an opt-in demo, with a QR code that takes guests straight to a booking page or online store.
