Get ready to rev your engines and put on your dancing shoes! The 2024 Boost Mobile Gold Coast 500 is back with a bang, celebrating its 30th anniversary in true Gold Coast style. From 25-27 October, the iconic street circuit will come alive with the roar of Supercars by day and the electrifying beats of top music acts by night.
The official launch at the Sheraton Grand Mirage Resort tonight set the tone for what promises to be a memorable event. With Peking Duk, Jet, Spiderbait, Bag Raiders, Kingswood, and DJ Total Eclipse headlining, the music lineup is as hot as the track action itself.
Friday Night Frenzy
Kicking off the festivities, Friday night will be all about the DJs. Brisbane-based, New York-born party starter DJ Total Eclipse is set to ignite the stage with his high-energy set. Known for thrilling fans at Supercars events in Townsville and on the Gold Coast, he’s the perfect choice to get the crowd buzzing.
Following DJ Total Eclipse, dance royalty duo Bag Raiders will take over. These Aussie legends, known for their hit “Shooting Stars,” have a knack for getting everyone on their feet. But the night’s not over yet! Peking Duk, the dynamic duo from Canberra, will close things out with their signature blend of electronic and pop hits. With 26 Platinum certifications and a string of ARIA awards, they’re sure to end the night on a high.
Rocking Saturday Night
Saturday night shifts gears with some of Australia’s best rock acts hitting the stage. Kingswood returns to the GC500 after a massive year, including their latest album HOME reaching the top of the ARIA charts. They’re just the warm-up for what’s next.
Australian rock legends Spiderbait will take the stage next, bringing their high-energy performance to the Gold Coast crowd. Celebrating their own 30th anniversary, Spiderbait has a storied career with multiple ARIA awards and a string of chart-topping hits. Their version of “Black Betty” still resonates 20 years after dominating the charts.
Closing out Saturday night will be the multi-platinum rockers Jet. Inducted into the ARIA Hall of Fame last year, they’re bringing their iconic sound and hits like “Are You Gonna Be My Girl” to the GC500 stage for the first time. It’s set to be an unforgettable night of rock that’ll have everyone singing along.
Sunday Funday
The party vibes continue into Sunday with some of the best local DJs keeping the beats pumping all day long. It’s the perfect way to unwind after a weekend of high-octane racing and epic performances.
