Boost Mobile Gold Coast 500 launches huge off-track entertainment line-up

The 2025 Boost Mobile Gold Coast 500 will deliver its trademark flare bigger, bolder, and louder than ever – with a blockbuster program of off-track entertainment set to light up Surfers Paradise across three massive days.

For the first time, the event’s legendary trackside party is open to all fans, with Club 500 reimagined as Boost Mobile HQ – an all-ages, all-weekend precinct that fuses racing, music, and culture into one epic festival on Macintosh Island.

Within the precinct the Boost Mobile Drift Cars that will be on track across the event in exhibitions, will be on display for fans to check out close up, Boost Mobile Athlete Autograph Sessions, prize giveaways and celebrations for James Courtney, who is making his final Gold Coast 500 driving appearance in 2025 before retirement.

After racing, the Boost Mobile HQ stage will come alive with huge nights of live music, headlined by Groove Armada (Saturday night), The Stafford Brothers and Brooke Evers (Friday night). The party that made Club 500 famous is back – bigger, bolder, and open to everyone.

Boost Mobile CEO Bobby Geldens said: “Boost Mobile HQ is the next evolution of our fan experience.

“We’re opening the doors wider than ever before – the energy, the atmosphere, the music – it’s going to be next-level.”

“Boost Mobile HQ will feature Driver Q&A sessions on stage throughout the weekend, performances on stage by DJs across day and night, skate ramp exhibitions and entertainment for all ages.

“Boost Mobile HQ will be the ultimate place to be – whether you’re into racing, music, culture, or just soaking up the atmosphere of the Gold Coast 500. It’s going to be massive.”

Beyond Boost Mobile HQ, the off-track entertainment program will be stacked with action across the precinct, including:

The entertainment within the circuit precinct will follow days of fan events leading into the event, including:

Monday October 20: The arrival of the first-ever 10 finalists to Cavill Ave

Wednesday October 22: The popular arrival of more than $25 million worth of Supercars into the circuit via Main Beach’s Tedder Avewhere fans are asked to come along and cheer their favourite team’s carriers along the street (from 9:00am to 9:30am and 12:30pm to 1:00pm)

Thursday October 23: The famous Sunset Signing Session under the Surfers Paradise Sign on Cavill Ave. Begins at 4:00pm, driver parade arrives 4:50pm, autograph session 5:00pm to 6:00pm.

Supercars Chief Executive James Warburton said the entertainment off track is aimed at delivering the same kind of excitement as this year’s action on track: “The Gold Coast is already one of the most spectacular events in world motorsport, and this year it’s being elevated to an entirely new level.

“On track, we’ll see the first-ever Repco Supercars Championship Finals Series races on the streets of Surfers Paradise – 10 drivers will arrive with championship dreams still alive, but by Sunday night, only seven will remain in contention.

“Off track, the action will match the intensity of the Finals – from headline concerts from internationally recognised DJs, fireworks to jet boats, FMX stunts and the all-new Boost Mobile HQ, delivering an unforgettable Gold Coast experience.”

The 2025 Boost Mobile Gold Coast 500 roars into Surfers Paradise October 24-26, 2025, featuring the first ever Repco Supercars Championship Finals Series races on the streets of the Gold Coast.

The Boost Mobile Gold Coast 500 is supported by the Queensland Government, through Tourism and Events Queensland’s Major Events Program and Experience Gold Coast.
