2026 Boost Mobile Gold Coast 500 set for 23-25 October
Supercars has unveiled the full entertainment line-up for the 2026 Boost Mobile Gold Coast 500, with major Australian artists set to perform across the new Sound Track precinct as the event brings racing, music and entertainment together for one of the country’s biggest party weekends.
The three-day line-up will be headlined by Sneaky Sound System, Bag Raiders and Havana Brown, with live music acts and DJs including William Kiss, RONA and Ben Gerrans also taking over Macintosh Island and bringing a festival atmosphere to the Boost Mobile GC 500 between the biggest moments on track.
The Boost Mobile Gold Coast 500 atmosphere starts building on Friday morning as Havana Brown and Little Fritter fire up Track Club, bringing together fitness, music and community.
Guy Contact, Ben Gerrans, RONA, William Kiss, DAWS, Soju Gang and Mikalah Watego will follow later in the day, mixing live music with electronic sets.
Saturday belongs to three of Australia's biggest names in dance and electronic music, with Havana Brown, Bag Raiders and Sneaky Sound System taking over as the headliners.
The party then continues Sunday with DJs Little Fritter, Richy Penny and Anika rounding out three days of live music and entertainment.
Sound Track will make its debut as a central part of the Boost Mobile Gold Coast 500 fan experience, bringing DJs, live performances, food and beverages together in a dedicated precinct designed to keep the energy in full flow amongst the racing action.
It will also complement Track Club powered by Boost Mobile, which will see participants run up to two laps of the famous Surfers Paradise street circuit on Friday morning before crossing the finish line as Havana Brown delivers a live DJ set.
Entertainment will run throughout the afternoons and evenings, giving fans a constant soundtrack between the track sessions and more reasons to stay in the precinct well into the evening.
Bag Raiders' Chris Stracey said performing at the Boost Mobile Gold Coast 500 was a unique opportunity to bring music and motorsport fans together.
"We’re so excited to be part of the Gold Coast 500’s first ever Sound Track and to perform for fans who are coming along to experience the best of music and motorsport in one central hub,” Stracey said.
Supercars Executive Chairman and acting CEO Barclay Nettlefold said the star-studded line-up would set the tone for an action-packed weekend both on and off the track.
"The Boost Mobile Gold Coast 500 has always delivered incredible energy on track, and Sound Track takes the experience to a completely new level by involving more live music, more entertainment and additional ways for fans to be part of the action throughout the weekend," Nettlefold said.
"There is a great mix across this line-up; we have some of the biggest Aussie names in dance and electronic music, through to an exciting blend of emerging artists.
"With live music running across all three days of race weekend, Sound Track will give fans yet another reason to stay and soak up the atmosphere between the afternoon racing, and well into the night."
The 2026 event marks the 35th anniversary of racing on the streets of Surfers Paradise, with Supercars having served as the headline act since 2009.
Combining three days of Repco Supercars Championship racing with live music and festival-style entertainment, Sound Track will be free for all ticket holders to enjoy.
The 2026 Boost Mobile Gold Coast 500 will take place from 23-25 October in Surfers Paradise, proudly supported by Tourism and Events Queensland and Experience Gold Coast.
Tickets are available now through Supercars.com for three days of racing, live music and festival-style entertainment on the streets of Surfers Paradise.
