Cowboy Junkies Live and Community Health Workshops: What’s On in Toowoomba Today

Welcome to Toowoomba Today

It is Tuesday, 3 February 2026, and the Garden City is offering a sophisticated mix of international musical talent and essential community support. Whether you are looking to spend your morning gaining vital health knowledge or your evening immersed in atmospheric folk-rock, today’s local calendar has you covered. Here is your guide to what is happening across Toowoomba today.

Evening Performance: Cowboy Junkies at the Empire Theatre

The headline event for this Tuesday is undoubtedly the arrival of the legendary Canadian alt-country and folk-rock band, the Cowboy Junkies. Performing at the historic Empire Theatre on Neil Street, the band brings their "Live On Tour 2026" show to our city. This performance is a rare opportunity for local music fans to experience the group that redefined the "quiet is the new loud" movement in the late 1980s.

The concert is scheduled to begin at 7:30 PM. Attendees can expect an evening of sparse, hauntingly beautiful melodies led by the ethereal vocals of Margo Timmins. The setlist is expected to feature iconic tracks from their landmark album, The Trinity Session, alongside material from their more recent decades of blues and country exploration. As one of the country's largest regional performing arts venues, the Empire Theatre provides the perfect acoustic backdrop for the band’s intimate and atmospheric sound.

Morning Community Session: Toowoomba Carers Hub

For those looking for engagement during the daylight hours, the Wellways Toowoomba Carer Hub is hosting an important educational workshop this morning. Starting at 10:00 AM, the session focuses on the crucial topic of "Bowel Health." This gathering is part of a broader initiative to support local caregivers by providing them with practical health information and a network of peers.

This is a free community event held at the Wellways facility. It aims to provide a supportive environment where residents can learn from experts and share their own experiences in a safe, accessible format. It is a vital resource for those in the region who spend their time caring for family and friends, ensuring their own health and education remain a priority.

Art and Local Culture

In the arts scene, while many residents are looking forward to the opening of the "Pigeon Teeth" exhibition tomorrow, today is an ideal time for a quiet visit to the Toowoomba Regional Art Gallery. The gallery remains open for those who wish to explore the permanent collection without the mid-week crowds. Additionally, the Toowoomba City Library is open for its regular Tuesday hours, offering a peaceful space for study, research, or browsing the local history archives.
