The story

Groundwater Country Music Festival in Gold Coast/Broadbeach

A free, multi-stage country music festival across Broadbeach on the Gold Coast, typically held each October and separate from the autumn Blues on Broadbeach event. Groundwater features leading Australian country artists across outdoor stages in parks and the Oasis precinct, drawing large spring crowds to the beachside suburb.

Groundwater Country Music Festival brings a second wave of free live music to Broadbeach each year, this time built around country rather than blues, and it has grown into one of the Gold Coast's key annual music events despite sharing a suburb with the better-known Blues on Broadbeach.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

Groundwater gives the Gold Coast a genuine country music identity distinct from its beach and theme-park reputation, tapping into Queensland's substantial rural and regional country fanbase in a beachside setting

02

The mystery stays covered

Its free-entry, multi-stage format mirrors the success of Blues on Broadbeach but with a completely different lineup and October spring timing, making the two Broadbeach festivals complementary rather than repetitive

03

The city starts moving

The event's scale, drawing some of Australia's biggest country names to outdoor stages without a ticket cost, is a significant drawcard for both dedicated country fans and casual visitors enjoying warm spring evenings by the beach
