Amy Shark to headline the Gold Coast Music Awards’ new live beachfront concert – and it’s free!
Amy Shark, the Gold Coaster with one of the biggest names in Australian music, will headline a free live music event as part of the 2017 Gold Coast Music Awards. The event will be staged under the Surfers Paradise sign on the beachfront on Thursday April 27, with the songstress set to be joined by other Gold Coast favourites Hanlon Brothers, Aquila Young and Yes Sir Noceur. Friends, this is going to be big!
After confirming her status as music royalty with her number two debut on the Triple J Hottest 100, Amy Shark will perform her massive EP ‘Adore’ on the beachfront in Surfers Paradise – this is going to be all-time. If you missed out on tickets to Amy Shark’s sold out tour, then you’d best get on this! The Gold Coast Music Awards (GCMA), now in its third year, has made the move from Burleigh Heads to Surfers Paradise in 2017, incorporating its first free event as part of the Surfers Paradise LIVE! festival. That’s right, it’s all free. The event kicks off from 6:00 pm on Thursday April 27, so get yourself there early to nab a spot front and centre, because this is one solid beachfront line-up.
The GCMA awards ceremony, where Breakout Artist of the Year, Venue and Live Music Event, Song, Video, Album and Artist of the Year will be named, will take place in a ticketed VIP beachfront marquee adjacent to the stage – tickets to the presentation ceremony are available now via Oztix. The nominations for the third annual GCMA are open online from now until March 10, so jump on board and throw your support behind amazing local musicians.
