Rock legend and ARIA Hall of Fame-inductee Jimmy Barnes will headline a star-studded line-up for Surfers Paradise LIVE, held from May 3 to 6. The free, family-friendly music festival cements Surfers Paradise’s reputation as one of Australia’s ultimate event destinations, transforming the event hub into a multistage street festival with the iconic Surfers Paradise beach as the unique gig backdrop.

Jimmy Barnes will headline LIVE on Saturday May 5 with fellow Australian rock icon Daryl Braithwaite, while one of Australia’s most gifted singer-songwriters Kate Ceberano will join the legendary Jon Stevens to headline the main stage on Sunday May 6. High-energy Australian pop music group Justice Crew have also been confirmed in the star-studded line-up for Friday May 4, along with 2013 X-Factor Australia winner Reece Mastin.

Surfers Paradise LIVE is a great opportunity for music lovers of all ages to enjoy the excitement and atmosphere of free live music playing in the streets and music venues of the beachside suburb. For the second year, Surfers Paradise Alliance has partnered with the Gold Coast Music Awards (GCMAs) to provide Gold Coast artists the opportunity to showcase their talents to a wider audience.

As a key component of the festival, the GCMAs will be held on Surfers Paradise beach on Thursday May 3, where highly-esteemed Gold Coast musician Bobby Alu will entertain crowds on the LIVE stage.
