Coming up in the Gold Coast

15 upcoming events from official event calendars, refreshed daily. Last refresh: Wed, 14 Oct 2026.

Surfers Paradise & Southport

Orchid Avenue and Cavill Avenue are the Coast’s main club strip and a Safe Night Precinct, so venues can serve until 3am. Southport, a few tram stops north, has the best small band room on the Coast.

Broadbeach & Mermaid Beach

The Coast’s other Safe Night Precinct, a bit more grown-up than Surfers: a superclub and cocktail lounges near the tram. Mermaid Beach, just south, has the Coast’s queer-owned bar.

Miami, Burleigh & Coolangatta

The southern beaches are for live music more than clubbing: a street-food and gig precinct at Miami, a warehouse venue in Burleigh’s back streets and a classic band room at Cooly. Venues here finish by 2am at the latest.
