Cooly Rocks On

Music, dancing, cars, nostalgia and good old-fashioned family fun are all coming back to Cooly Rocks On, right here in one of the best destinations in the world.

Established in 2011, Cooly Rocks On™ has evolved to become Australia’s largest rock’n’roll and nostalgia festival and a signature event on Queensland and Australia’s event calendar. Set on a combination of outdoor stages and venues within the beachside streetscape of iconic Coolangatta, the highlight of Cooly Rocks On™ is the destination; the spectacular Southern Gold Coast beaches, the relaxed and friendly hospitality and family-friendly atmosphere for which the Southern Gold Coast is renowned.

There is so much to savour at Cooly Rocks On with cars, live music, dance displays, parades and markets, all set on stages, streets, parks and venues within iconic Coolangatta.

Live entertainment will rock continually delivering Rock’n Roll, Swing and Rockabilly from the 50’s, 60’s and early 70’s and of course, the dance floors will be pumping. There will be roving entertainment, feature markets and food vendors activated in a beachside event site.

Hundreds of cars will display in what is the most beautiful and iconic location for a Show ‘n’ Shine anywhere in Australia. There are more car clubs participating than ever before and will underpin the classic culture. Show’n Shine cars can be manufactured up to 1979 which incorporates the heady days of the ultimate muscle car era blending perfectly with the colourful classics.

There are more reasons than ever before to mark your diary and taste and feel the best the 50’s, 60’s and 70’s has to offer with Cooly Rocks On.
