WORDS: Jo Wormald PHOTOGRAPHY Experience Gold Coast

Blues on Broadbeach celebrated 25 years in style this week, with Experience Gold Coast hosting a special anniversary event at The Langham, Gold Coast.

For a quarter of a century, Blues on Broadbeach has transformed the Gold Coast into a vibrant blues and roots destination, growing from humble beginnings into one of Australia’s largest and most loved music festivals. Since 2002, the award-winning festival has welcomed some of the world’s greatest blues and roots artists, attracting more than 44,000 music fans annually and delivering a significant boost to the local economy.

Guests gathered to celebrate the festival’s incredible milestone, reflect on its rich history, and enjoy an intimate VIP preview performance from 2025 Grammy Award winner Ruthie Foster.
