The Pacific Airshow Gold Coast has officially revealed the dates for its 2025 edition, promising an even bigger, faster, and louder experience for attendees. After a hugely successful 2024 event, aviation enthusiasts and holidaymakers alike can look forward to the breathtaking spectacle returning to the Gold Coast skies from Friday, 15 August to Sunday, 17 August 2025.
Held above the iconic Surfers Paradise beachfront, this world-class airshow is fast becoming one of Queensland’s premier annual events, and 2025 is set to soar to even greater heights.
Plan Ahead for the Ultimate Gold Coast Getaway
The overwhelming response to the 2024 Pacific Airshow, which drew more than 270,000 attendees across its three-day run, has prompted organisers to announce next year’s dates earlier than ever. This ensures visitors have plenty of time to secure accommodation, organise travel, and prepare for what promises to be another unforgettable experience.
Kevin Elliott, Director of Pacific Airshow, emphasised the importance of planning ahead to get the most out of the event.
“I encourage everyone to lock plans in to ensure you’re front and centre for what is anticipated to be another spectacular weekend,” said Elliott.
He also teased exciting enhancements for 2025, with tickets set to go on sale in early 2025.
“In 2025, one of the largest events in Queensland is going BIGGER, FASTER and LOUDER and will unveil some exciting enhancements when tickets go on sale.
“The response to our 2024 Pacific Airshow has set a new benchmark for success. This year, we saw a 20% increase in ticketed attendance and reports indicate a similarly significant rise in spectator numbers outside the ticketed areas as well.
“Our team is already working hard to ensure the 2025 event surpasses this year’s achievements.”
An Economic and Tourism Powerhouse for the Gold Coast
The Pacific Airshow Gold Coast has not only thrilled aviation fans but also provided a significant boost to the local economy. Experience Gold Coast CEO John Warn highlighted its growing importance on the city’s calendar.
“The Pacific Airshow Gold Coast is now firmly on its way to becoming one of the biggest events on our city’s annual calendar, providing a $33 million boost for the local economy in 2024,” said Warn.
“Organisers promised 2024 would be bigger and better than their debut year, and they delivered, putting on an unforgettable action-packed show over our iconic Surfers Paradise beach. We can’t wait to see what they have in store for 2025.”
The Gold Coast’s famous winter sunshine, combined with thrilling aerial displays and a festive atmosphere, make the airshow an irresistible drawcard for both locals and visitors. Gold Coast Mayor Tom Tate celebrated the event’s return and its impact on the region.
“Here we go again! Buckle up and get ready for the Pacific Airshow Gold Coast to take over our skies again with a show like no other in August 2025,” said Mayor Tate.
“This is one experience you don’t want to miss in 2025!”
