The Blues on Broadbeach festival was launched at The Star, and in contrast to previous years, the sun will be out when the event starts this weekend

BLUES ON BROADBEACH LAUNCH The Star, Gold Coast

FIRSTLY the weather is going to be fine. The Blues on Broadbeach which runs until Sunday night was launched with a gala cocktail party at The Star Gold Coast. While biblical rain has on occasion cursed our biggest free event of the year, this weekend is set to be clear skies and great music. Around 200,000 people are expected to descend on the Broadbeach precinct with a range of music to suit every taste.
