Friday 18 October

Day one is here! To make sure we get the most out of each day, we’ve got music starting from 10AM with Open Season Band opening up The Kurrawa Big Top.

Our friendly team will also be there bright and early from 9AM at Info & Festival Merch, so make sure to grab your festival merch early before they sell out! There’s also plenty of cafes around Broadbeach that will help keep you caffeinated and ready to take on the day.

As we go into the night, it’s going to be an incredible lineup with Jayne Denham, Adam Brand, Shannon Noll and more to wrap up Friday before a massive weekend!

It’s Saturday! The country celebrations are in full force from early morning until late into the night – because we know how our country fans like to party. 

Starting bright and early from 9AM, head straight to the Beach Deck for some Beachside Line Dancing with Chris Watson. With the gorgeous Gold Coast beach as your backdrop – how does it get better? Learn some steps early then show off your skills later with multiple line dancing sessions in store.

As for the music, there definitely won’t be a shortage of tunes with live entertainment across all the outdoor stages and Festival Venues. From Jess Moskaluke to Felicity Urquhart & Josh Cunningham, Josh Setterfield, plus the unmissable Tim Hicks and The Linda Ronstadt Show featuring Ella Hooper, we’re already buzzing with excitement!

How is it the last day already? Well, at least we’ll end it with a bang!

The Queen of Country Kasey Chambers will be headlining the night, along with Grammy-nominated artist Gord Bamford, country favourite Max Jackson and many more performing throughout the day.

We’re also stoked to bring back the KIX Live at Groundwater Songwriters session at The Kurrawa Big Top on Sunday morning. And don’t miss your last chance to walk around the Country Markets and Country Fair for a few rounds of cornhole and shop for some goodies.
