Blues on Broadbeach is back on the Gold Coast for its 24th year, bigger and better than ever before! Returning to the beachside precinct from 15 – 18 May 2025, we’re thrilled to welcome over 70 international and homegrown artists to perform across 17 indoor and outdoor stages.
With so much rhythm & blues jammed into the four days, now’s the time to start planning out your festival schedule with the 2025 program and app!
Leading the charge this year is none other than Australian rock icon Jimmy Barnes, who’ll be taking over Sunday night with a special one-off Soul Deep show as part of the Kurrawa Park Sunday Ticket. Due to be a massive celebration of his 10x platinum Soul Deep album, get ready to be wowed by a powerhouse collection of classic soul and R&B covers with all the energy only Barnesy can bring.
Sharing the spotlight are special guests The Badloves – Aussie icons in their own right and Pokey LaFarge, bringing his distinctive genre-defying blend of jazz, folk, and Americana sound all the way from the US. Make sure to not miss out on this incredible show that will cap off another year of Blues on Broadbeach – tickets are selling fast so secure yours today!
For the non-ticketed programming, legends like The Cruel Sea, Eli Paperboy Reed, Vika & Linda, Eric Gales, and Grammy-nominated gospel heavyweights The Harlem Gospel Travelers, plus many more are set to take over Broadbeach, performing at both outdoor stages and at our Partner Venues.
So whilst you’re busy catching sets for as many artists as you can, head into one of our 13 Partner Venues for a drink and meal so you can keep the celebrations going for all four days.
With so much going on across 15-18 May, make sure you don’t miss out on your favourite acts during the festival! Be sure to download the Blues on Broadbeach 2025 festival app on the App Store or Google Play to build out your own schedule.
