The Weekend Edition - Sleep In. Slow Down. Enjoy.

The Star Lisa Hunt

Dance until your feet hurt to soul queens and DJ megastars at Live on the Lawn this December

Summer has arrived and 2024 is coming in hot – so it's time to lean into the season, let your hair down and treat your ears to some sweet beats. The Star Gold Coast has all of your sun-kissed afternoons and balmy nights sorted throughout December, with some of Australia's most in-demand DJs and live performers headlining a sizzling summer of free music at Live on the Lawn. All you need to do is grab a cocktail and get ready to dance.


As the sun dips during December, cruise onto The Lawn at Garden Kitchen & Bar to soak up the sounds of the season’s hottest entertainment, served up live and free from 5:00 pm. Spirited songstress and soul queen Lisa Hunt will have the crowds on their feet for a night of RnB bangers and disco hits on Friday December 15. With a cocktail or ice-cold beer in hand, you can soak up the last rays of the day and kick back to live melodies from the likes of guitar-wielding soloist Huddy Faulkner (December 14, 17 and 19) and neo-pop favourite Dana Lowrey (December 18).

A roster of big-name DJs and renowned local sound makers join Live on The Lawn’s line-up of acoustic acts, with the likes of AKKY, DJ Maddi and Fly Girl Tee hitting the decks from 8:00 pm on various nights across December. The beats will peak on New Year’s Eve when blue-haired beauty Tigerlily headlines Garden Kitchen & Bar’s much-hyped New Year’s Eve bash with a huge set of dance-worthy tunes (which is free to attend), while those ringing in 2024 up at Isoletto Prive & Lawn’s sky-high Night of White party will be treated to a live and loud set from superstar DJ Brooke Evers.

To amplify Live on The Lawn’s balmy evenings of beats, just follow your nose to The Lawn’s Container Kitchen – located just a few footsteps from your picnic table – to wrap your hands around flavoursome fare like fried-chicken sandos, prawn tacos, fried cheeseburger dumplings and decadent loaded fries. Pair your spread of snacks with sips from Garden Kitchen & Bar’s stellar cocktail menu, then sink into splendour and enjoy a night of live music and great vibes.
