About us

Blues on Broadbeach Music Festival is held in Broadbeach, Gold Coast and celebrated its 21st annual festival in 2022 since commencing in 2002.

The festival features multiple stages and venues across the precinct that are generally non-ticketed to attend.

Blues on Broadbeach has been a highly respected music festival in the Broadbeach precinct for 21 years. With a pivot in 2020 due to the global pandemic, Blues on Broadbeach is now returning in it’s full entirety in 2022. Since 2020, Major Events Gold Coast proudly produces Blues on Broadbeach.

MEGC’s charter is to develop a portfolio of events and festivals which will attract the overnight drive market from Brisbane and the interstate traveller wishing to come to the Gold Coast for an event or festival ultimately generating Visitor Nights and promotion of our destination, as an events and festivals hub.

MEGC is committed to hosting environmentally responsible events, as such we work very closely with event partners to plan and implement festivals which reflect green event best practices.
