Concerts in Red Hot Summer Tour 2026

Experience Red Hot Summer Tour 2026

Coolangatta’s foreshore will once again pulse with energy as the Red Hot Summer Tour returns in January 2026. This nationally touring event consistently brings a stellar lineup of classic rock, pop, and Australian music icons to picturesque coastal locations. The Coolangatta iteration is uniquely held at Boyd Oval, a sporting and community ground steeped in local history. Originally established in the 1930s, Boyd Oval has evolved from a simple sporting field into a versatile event space, retaining its charming, open-air atmosphere.

While not architecturally renowned, Boyd Oval's flat, expansive layout allows for excellent sightlines across the stage, crucial for large-scale concerts. Previous Red Hot Summer Tours at Boyd Oval have featured performances by artists like Hoodoo Gurus, The Living End, and Kate Ceberano – attracting audiences exceeding 10,000. The event distinguishes itself by offering a relaxed, all-ages atmosphere with dedicated family areas and diverse food & beverage options. Its beachfront location provides a unique Gold Coast experience alongside top-tier musical entertainment, setting it apart from more conventional concert venues. The tour actively supports local businesses and contributes to the vibrancy of the Coolangatta community.
