Star Gold Coast unveils plans for new open air concert area

The Star Gold Coast has unveiled plans for new outdoor concert arena catering up to 1,500 people.

“We have spoken to a lot of people well-connected to the music industry,” Star Entertainment Group chief executive Matt Bekier said.

“An outdoor venue that can stage concerts of small and large scale would drive great cut-through and further enhance the Gold Coast as a music destination.

“Our plans include curating a calendar of events, from full-scale concerts by world-class bands and performers to family-friendly picnic events like Carols at Christmas, to smaller more intimate offerings like string quartets.”

The group also plans to develop a vacant piece of canal-front land near Centenary Park, which could accommodate further events.
