Colour, fun and carnival vibes to heat up Gold Coast return

Macintosh Island will be bursting with live performances at this weekend’s Boost Mobile Gold Coast 500.

The trackside precinct will transform into a festival of colour, energy, and music, with roving entertainers set to delight fans across October 28-30.

The entertainment on the streets of Surfers Paradise will flow across all three days, including some of the best off-track displays the event has ever seen. Tickets are on sale now. 

From stilt walkers, hula hoop acts, and Brazilian drummers, there will be plenty of performances to keep the whole family entertained.

Brazilian drummers will get the party started, bringing their tribal entertainment and carnival vibes to Surfers Paradise.

The colourful, energetic, and unique display will convey the fun and flair of Brazil, with the talented troop dressed in authentic costumes.

Fans can interact with the performers throughout the precinct while enjoying more bars, entertainment, and huge music acts than ever before.

The Boost Mobile Club 500 is back for the Surfers Paradise event and will host three massive nights of music performances. 

The fan-favourite SuperKids Zone will be trackside at the event, offering kids from three years and over the opportunity to enjoy a combination of racing-inspired activities, with a chill out space for parents.

Off-track entertainment includes Airtime FMX and BMX in Ferny Avenue, Jet ski, fly board, and wakeboarding in the Nerang River, and Boost Mobile FMX Stunt Team at the beach area.

There will be plenty of action in the skies with displays by the Australian Defence Force Parachute School, an Army helicopter flyover, and an aerobatics performance from reigning Red Bull Air Race world champion Matt Hall. 

The broader entertainment package will include merchandise alley, and food and beverage facilities.

All entertainment and the SuperKids Zone are free with every ticket. Please note Club 500 is for fans aged 18 and over only.

The Boost Mobile Gold Coast 500 will be held 28-30 October and broadcast live on Fox Sports and the Seven Network.
