Fans of speed and sound are in for a double dose of adrenaline in 2025, as the Boost Mobile Gold Coast 500 announces a powerhouse entertainment lineup to match its high-stakes racing action. Across three days from 24 to 26 October, Surfers Paradise will roar to life with championship-deciding Supercars and two epic nights of live music, making this year’s event a true all-in-one celebration of motorsport and music.
At the heart of the entertainment experience are two unmissable nights of DJ-fuelled party energy, set right within the track precinct on the revamped Boost Mobile HQ stage.
Saturday night is headlined by international electronic icons Groove Armada, bringing their legendary DJ sets and timeless anthems like Superstylin’, I See You Baby, and At the River to the Gold Coast shoreline. Known for their Grammy and Brit Award nominations and a career spanning over two decades, Groove Armada will deliver a beachside set that promises to be both nostalgic and electric.
Friday night’s entertainment brings the heat early with homegrown heroes The Stafford Brothers, Australia’s most successful DJ duo and global festival regulars. With credits alongside Lil Wayne, Christina Milian and T.I., plus a major record deal with Cash Money Records in the US, Matt and Chris Stafford know how to turn any stage into a party. They’ll be joined by Brooke Evers, a staple on international DJ circuits and frequent collaborator with the Stafford Brothers. From Las Vegas to Ibiza, Evers has earned her place among Australia’s most prominent female DJs, and she’s bringing her signature sound to Surfers Paradise.
The live music is included in same-day tickets, turning the precinct into a full-scale festival vibe each night after the final race session. Whether you’re here for the cars or the club beats — or both — the 2025 Boost Mobile Gold Coast 500 is gearing up to be a weekend like no other.
But it’s not just about the after-dark action. For the first time in Supercars history, the Gold Coast will host the opening round of the Repco Supercars Championship Finals Series, upping the ante for the thousands of fans who flock to the event each year. Ten of the sport’s top drivers will enter the infamous concrete canyon, but only seven will come out with a championship shot intact. It’s win or go home — and the intensity on track will be matched only by the energy off it.
Supercars CEO James Warburton summed it up perfectly: “Groove Armada are global icons, and we’re delighted to have them headline Saturday night. Adding The Stafford Brothers and Brooke Evers on Friday makes it a full weekend of world-class music, performed within the track precinct on the new Boost Mobile HQ stage.”
For Boost Mobile, 2025 also marks a milestone moment — their 25th birthday — and they’re pulling out all the stops to celebrate in style. CEO Bobby Geldens said, “With an unreal DJ lineup featuring Groove Armada, The Stafford Brothers and Brooke Evers, we’re turning up the volume for what’s going to be one of the best weekends of the year.”
With tens of thousands expected to descend on Surfers Paradise and an estimated $55 million economic boost forecast for the region, the Gold Coast 500 is more than just a race — it’s a high-octane cultural event. From daytime duels on track to full-scale party nights by the beach, the 2025 edition is dialled all the way up.
Whether you’re a diehard motorsport fan, a dancefloor regular, or just here for the vibe, there’s no better place to be than trackside in October. The Boost Mobile Gold Coast 500 is the must-attend event of the year — and it’s not holding back.
