Surfers Paradise Gets New SPRINGTIME Music Festival

With so many festivals still on ice, it’s exciting to see a brand new event launching later this year. SPRINGTIME Music Festival will help punters in Surfers Paradise usher in warm weather this September. It’s kicking off with a stacked line-up featuring Ruel, Ball Park Music, Hermitude, Sneaky Sound System, Psychedelic Porn Crumpets, Ali Barter, Saint Lane, and stacks more.

All these artists are playing free over the three-day event and there’ll be stacks of ticketed gigs as well, so there’s no excuse for not getting involved. The location on the beach and around the streets of the Gold Coast is sure to add to the party atmosphere.

“SPRINGTIME will showcase the City of Gold Coast’s connection to music, celebrating some of our favourite local acts as well as artists from across the country,” said Mark Duckworth, the Director of Festivals & Events at Major Events Gold Coast. “We are so excited to build a new event experience for everyone to enjoy,” he said.

SPRINGTIME Music Festival hits Surfers Paradise on the Gold Coast from September 3 to 5. Mark your calendar because it’s going to be massive!

Jet Headline Gold Coast New Year’s Show

Jet will headline the massive Aussie line-up at Odyssey NYE ’09 on the Gold Coast. Considering their recent pairing with Iggy Pop, it seems the rock outfit’s self imposed exile is well and truly over.

Jet will share the bill with local legends Eskimo Joe, Evermore, The Butterfly Effect, and Operator Please. More acts will be announced closer to the date, so expect it to be massive.

The organisers anticipate big crowds so they’re moving Odyssey from its Dreamworld home to Carrara Sports Complex.

Sounds like a fun way to ring in the New Year. If you want to go, grab your tickets through the website when they go on sale tomorrow.
