SUMMARY:Broadbeach Beats
DESCRIPTION:Broadbeach Beats returns 8 August 2026 with a free\, family-friendly celebration of the Gold Coast’s creative community. \nFor one day\, Victoria Avenue transforms into a living\, breathing creative village\, where the sound of live music drifts between market stalls\, artists work in the open\, and every corner of the mall offers something new to discover. \nEmerging musicians and community performance groups take to the stage throughout the day alongside a curated market of handmade ceramics\, jewellery\, textiles\, prints\, candles\, and slow-made fashion. Painters and illustrators work live. Photographers share their prints. Boutique labels and independent designers tell the stories behind what they make\, and record labels\, zine sellers\, and instrument makers set up shop beside them. \nThere’s plenty for the youngest visitors too\, with free kids’ activities to keep the little ones happy while the rest of the family wanders\, listens\, and takes it all in. Grab a bite\, find a spot in the sun\, and settle in for an afternoon that feels less like an event and more like a community coming together. \nFIND OUT MORE

SUMMARY:Karma Police - EP Launch
DESCRIPTION:Karma Police are a four-piece alt-rock band with a grunge-inspired\, post-punk sound based on the Sunshine Coast in Queensland. \nStill in their mid-teens\, echoes of early Pixies\, Nirvana\, Radiohead and Smashing Pumpkins come together with their own unique voice\, while their wide-ranging live sets channel the energy of Violent Soho and early Silverchair. \nKarma Police are Willem Brennan – vocals\, Will McWha – guitar\, Madison Grose – bass and Isaac Green – drums. \nFollowing a stint in Airlock Studios with ARIA award-winning producer\, Cody McWaters\, and a push into the Brisbane music scene – including appearances at The Triffid and The Cave Inn – Karma Police are returning home to launch their debut EP\, Pale and Blue. \nThe band’s first two 2026 single releases are already streaming everywhere\, but it’s hard to beat the intensity and kick of Karma Police playing live to a packed\, darkened room. \nJoining Karma Police will be ChAMBER LANe and Table Manners\, making for a stacked line-up with three of the Sunshine Coast’s hottest bands right now. \nMore than just another gig – it’s the celebration of a project many months in the making. \nThis is your chance to say you were there at the beginning. \nFIND OUT MORE
