The Gold Coast Music Awards have just announced 31 finalists (across eight categories) and we’re pretty excited to be a finalist for Venue of the Year.

We love being at the heart of such a vibrant music scene and we’re proud to stand alongside the other finalists in this category. Together we’ve created a real buzz around live music on the Gold Coast.

This year the Gold Coast Music Awards will deliver the official awards presentation virtually.

‘We're foregoing the flame-throwers and beachfront fanfare of previous years and bringing you the awards presentations with special guests and appearances, direct to your living rooms,’ the team at GCMA said.

‘While we can’t hold a big, face to face awards ceremony, we think it is really important to bring the community together, virtually at least, to acknowledge and celebrate the creative gold that continues to come out of this City.’

The winners will be announced via video from the Gold Coast Music Awards Facebook page from 7pm on Thurs 30 April, and will feature special iso-loungeroom performances from some of the city’s finest talent.
