Lee Kernaghan and Beccy Cole have signed on for the Groundwater Country Music Festival for 2019.

The free festival will be held at Broadbeach in July. “I’m super excited to be bringing my national tour to Groundwater festival,” said Lee Kernaghan in a statement. “It’s an incredible vibe on stage and out on the street and I can’t wait to be a part of this awesome festival in 2019.”

Lee and Beccy will be joined by The Wolfe Brothers, Fanny Lumsden, Andrew Swift and Blake O’Connor.

The Groundwater Music Festival will have 110 performers and 130 hours of free music.

“Gold Coasters love to push the boundaries and Groundwater is symbolic of that famous have-a-go-spirit alive throughout our city,” said Gold Coast Mayor Tom Tate. “From humble beginnings seven years ago, it is now the premiere country music event in Australia, rivalled only by Tamworth. Recently Tourism Events Queensland awarded Groundwater to a Major Events status. This has elevated it into the top five for major events on our annual calendar. See you there in July.”

The Groundwater Music Festival will be held July 26-28 in Broadbeach

Live Music Ticket Prices Reshape Global Concert Industry As Australia Faces ‘FOMO Economy’

by Paul Cashmere The cost of seeing live music has transformed dramatically over the past four decades, with arena and stadium concert ticket prices now outpacing inflation at a rate few other entertainment sectors can match. In the mid-1980s, a major concert ticket typically cost between $12 and $15. In 2026, premium tickets for the world's biggest tours regularly exceed $500, while VIP packages can stretch beyond $1,000. The shift has fundamentally changed not only the economics of touring, but also the behaviour of audiences in Australia, North America and Europe.
