While we’re yet to experience the chills of winter, it’s safe to say that we’re already ready to welcome back the days of warmer weather. The change of seasons after the cooler months also heralds the return of perfect party conditions and our beloved festival season – hurrah! That’s why the arrival of SPRINGTIME in September is such perfect timing, and music lovers will be happy to hear that the music, arts, entertainment and skateboarding festival is not only all ages but also free! Set across two outdoor stages in Surfers Paradise, SPRINGTIME is bringing unmissable beachside beats to the coast from September 1–3, and we’re here for it.

SPRINGTIME’s three-day line-up features a sizzling selection of Australia’s favourite acts and biggest party starters. The festival will kick off on the Gold Coast Show public holiday on Friday September 1 with Bag Raiders on the decks, while Saturday will see New Zealand alt-pop artist BENEE take the stage and Sunday will welcome the soulful singing talents of none other than Matt Corby. Joining these magical music makers will be Sycco, Boo Seeka, Babe Rainbow, Chutney, Eliza & The Delusionals, Bella Amor and heaps more. SPRINGTIME will also welcome back the newly named Vans Skate Plaza showcasing the official Vans Skate Team on a pop-up beachfront skatepark, while live mural painting will return showcasing some seriously talented artists.

Tickets for SPRINGTIME do not go on sale, because this is a free event! Save your pennies, pals.
