Ask anyone who’s lived here a while and they’ll tell you: the Gold Coast has two personalities. By day it’s sunscreen, surf reports and the eternal hunt for a parking spot near the beach.

But as the skyline evolves and the culture matures, something new is quietly reshaping the city’s identity—its nightlife and digital lifestyle are merging into a hybrid experience that reflects a modern, connected generation. What once revolved around beach bars […]

The modern internet was supposed to make life simpler. Instead, it became a battlefield for attention. Every platform now competes for clicks, screen time, and emotional reactions.

Most transition problems are not agronomic failures. They are scheduling failures, and the schedule was set by a date on a wall planner rather than by a probe in the ground.

After establishing themselves as pillars of Australia’s electronic music scene for over a decade, Peking Duk—comprising Adam Hyde and Reuben Styles—are ready to captivate audiences nationwide with an innovative live experience. The acclaimed duo’s highly anticipated debut album, Paradise, arrives August 14, accompanied by a reimagined stage show that pushes the boundaries of their signature sound.
With 400+ million streams, 27× Platinum achievements, and multiple ARIA Award recognitions to their name, Peking Duk have consistently delivered chart-dominating singles including High, Take Me Over, Stranger, and Fire. Their evolution from festival headliners to touring powerhouses has cemented their status as Australia’s most dynamic live electronic act.
Paradise represents a creative milestone—a sonically inventive and emotionally resonant exploration of Australian identity and personal contentment. Rather than chasing external ideals, the album champions an intimate vision of what paradise means to each listener.
Experience Peking Duk’s bold new production, unreleased tracks, and signature euphoric energy across their national tour. This is electronic music at its most theatrical and immersive.

The streets of Surfers Paradise are about to get loud. The 2026 Boost Mobile Gold Coast 500 returns to the iconic Surfers Paradise Street Circuit from 23 to 25 October, kicking off the Repco Supercars Finals in one of Australia’s most electric settings.
Round 12 of the Supercars Championship is no ordinary round. With 10 drivers still in title contention heading into the weekend, only seven will remain in the fight by Sunday. The stakes are as high as the speeds, and Surfers Paradise delivers the kind of pressure-cooker atmosphere that makes or breaks championship dreams.
Whether you’re a seasoned fan or discovering Supercars for the first time, the Gold Coast 500 has long been one of the calendar’s standout events. Set against the backdrop of the Gold Coast’s beaches and skyline, the Surfers Paradise Street Circuit is an unforgiving stretch of concrete-lined track where the margins are tight and the racing is relentless. This is where only the fast survive.
General Admission tickets start from AU$76 per person per day, giving fans the freedom to bring a chair, a blanket, or simply themselves and find a spot around the track. Fanstand tickets start from AU$93 per person per day, offering bench seating near food and beverage outlets, bathrooms and big screens. For those after a reserved seat, Grandstand tickets are available from AU$385 for three days.
Kids 12 and under receive free General Admission all weekend when accompanied by a paying adult (one child per paying adult, General Admission only).
For fans who want to get closer to the action, a Pit Lane Walk upgrade. Note that a Pit Lane Walk does not include event admission and must be presented alongside a valid event ticket.
Shared hospitality experiences include the Engine Room, located at Pit Exit with casual seating and catering included; the bp Race Central on Pit Lane, with reserved seating and start/finish line views; and the Pavilion x Piper-Heidsieck Lounge, positioned directly above team garages on pit lane with free-flowing Piper-Heidsieck champagne and a gourmet grazing menu. The Norté experience brings Latin American-inspired cuisine from the team at Rick Shores, with champagne and cocktails right on the vibrant Beach Chicane.
For the ultimate experience, the Victory Club offers an all-access pass including behind-the-scenes access, private team garage tours, team Q&As and exclusive photo opportunities, priced from AU$2,599 for three days. Exclusive group suites are also available, including Beach Villas, and Pit Garage Suites on both Level 1 and Level 2.
Travel packages pairing tickets with local accommodation and exclusive experiences start from approximately AU$605 per person through Supercars Travel, with options for trackside and track-view accommodation near the circuit’s hairpin, as well as quality hotels within walking distance.
The 2026 Boost Mobile Gold Coast 500 is brought to you by Experience Gold Coast and Queensland.
One of Australia’s greatest rock exports is coming home. Multi-platinum legends JET return to live shows in 2026, bringing the timeless anthems that defined a generation of rock music. From the stadium-filling swagger of “Are You Gonna Be My Girl” to the emotional punch of “Look What You’ve Done,” Jet’s catalogue remains as electrifying today as when they conquered the world in the early 2000s.
Inducted into the ARIA Hall of Fame in 2023, Jet’s influence on modern rock is undeniable—6x ARIA Awards, 10x Platinum certifications in Australia, and global sales exceeding 6.5 million albums. Their debut album Get Born didn’t just launch a career; it launched a phenomenon. This is your chance to experience that lightning in a bottle live.
Backed by Sydney’s explosive indie rock powerhouses LIQUID ZOO, a five-piece built for maximum impact. Combining the swagger of The Strokes, the grit of early Kings of Leon, and the raw intensity of Amyl and the Sniffers, Liquid Zoo brings the perfect high-octane warmup to get the crowd primed for an unforgettable night.
