Fans heading to this year’s Boost Mobile Gold Coast 500 are in for a massive weekend of entertainment, with two unmissable nights of live music confirmed in the heart of Surfers Paradise.
Internationally acclaimed electronic duo Groove Armada will headline the Saturday night concert, bringing their legendary DJ Sets to one of Australia’s most iconic beachside party precincts.
Groove Armada, known for timeless dance anthems like Superstylin’, I See You Baby and At the River, have earned Grammy and Brit Award nominations across a career spanning more than two decades.
With sold-out tours, critically acclaimed albums and a reputation for electrifying DJ Sets, they will headline Saturday night’s entertainment on the Macintosh Island stage.
The Stafford Brothers – Matt and Chris – are Australia’s most successful DJ duo, and the first electronic act from the southern hemisphere to sign with Cash Money Records in the US. Known for massive collaborations with Lil Wayne, Christina Milian and T.I., the brothers regularly headline major festivals across Europe, the US and Asia, and have earned ARIA nominations and chart success globally.
Joining them is Brooke Evers, one of Australia's most prominent female DJs and a frequent tourmate of the Stafford Brothers. Also known for her work as a TV personality and model, Evers has played to packed clubs across the world, from Las Vegas to Ibiza.
Both nights are included in the price of same-day event tickets to the Boost Mobile Gold Coast 500, with the Boost HQ zone transforming into a massive festival-style celebration after the final on track session of each day.
As Queensland’s largest annual sporting event, the Boost Mobile Gold Coast 500 attracts thousands of fans each year to Surfers Paradise – and in 2025, the event gets even bigger.
For the first time in Supercars history, the Gold Coast will host the opening round of the all-new Repco Supercars Championship Finals Series.
The top 10 drivers will go head-to-head in two do-or-die finals races on the brutal streets of the Gold Coast – a high-stakes showdown through the infamous concrete canyon.
Supercars Chief Executive James Warburton said: “The Boost Mobile Gold Coast 500 has built a reputation for delivering incredible entertainment both on and off the track and once again in 2025 we will deliver something special for fans of all ages.”
“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.
“But the entertainment is only one part of what will be a truly historic weekend. All week long we will be celebrating our first-ever finalists.
“10 drivers will go into the concrete canyon with Championship hopes, only seven will leave with a shot remaining at the title. It’s sure to produce racing like we’ve never seen before.”
Queensland Minister for Tourism Andrew Powell said, “High calibre headline entertainment like Groove Armada, The Stafford Brothers and Brooke Evers further bolsters what is set to be blockbuster weekend on the Gold Coast.
“Whether it’s a show-stopping performance on the circuit or on the stage, the Gold Coast 500 will shine a spotlight on the best of what the city has to offer, while giving an anticipated $55 million ‘boost’ to the economy.”
Gold Coast Mayor Tom Tate said: "No city delivers high octane street circuit racing like the Gold Coast.
"This year, the program includes hosting the opening round of the Supercars Championship Finals Series, adding to the appeal for families and diehard race fans.
"Make a date with the Gold Coast and experience the best in live entertainment over three big days."
Boost Mobile CEO Bobby Geldens said the combination of finals racing and live music makes this the must-attend event of 2025.
“This is a big part of our 25th birthday celebrations and we’re all about bringing the energy – this entertainment lineup absolutely delivers,” 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.
“From the intense racing during the day to the best live acts at night, the Boost Mobile Gold Coast 500 is going to be the party of the year.”
The Boost Mobile Gold Coast 500 will take place from 24–26 October 2025, with full event and ticketing details available at Supercars.com.
