Blues on Broadbeach 2026

Blues on Broadbeach returns in 2026 to celebrate an exciting milestone – its 25th anniversary. Held across four days throughout the beautiful Broadbeach precinct, this iconic Gold Coast festival continues to be a major celebration of live rhythm and blues music.

For 25 years, Blues on Broadbeach has delivered unforgettable live music experiences, transforming the Gold Coast into a rhythm and blues hub. The 2026 event promises to be another standout celebration, featuring an impressive lineup of international and Australian artists across parks, streets and venues in Broadbeach.

The 2025 festival featured standout performances from The Cruel Sea, DIESEL, Vika & Linda, Eric Gales, Eli Paperboy Reed, Salmonella Dub Soundsystem and many more. A highlight of the weekend was the Kurrawa Park Sunday Ticket event, where Australian rock legend Jimmy Barnes performed a special Soul Deep Show, marking over three decades since the release of his 10-times platinum album. He was joined by The Badloves and US artist Pokey LaFarge.

Further artist announcements for the 2026 lineup will be revealed soon, as Blues on Broadbeach prepares to mark its quarter-century with another unforgettable weekend of soul, blues and good vibes by the sea.
