2024 gold coast music awards

The Gold Coast Music Awards (GCMAs), Gold Coast’s premier music industry event, stimulate interest in our city as a live music destination while celebrating the depth and diversity of talent found here.

First held in 2015, the GCMAs will celebrate its 10th anniversary this year on Thursday 29 August, 2024, live at HOTA, Home of the Arts.  

Showcasing the best and brightest musical talent from our local region, the 2024 Gold Coast Music Awards will feature red carpet arrivals, the highly-anticipated Awards Ceremony where this year’s winners will be announced, live performances from Black Vatican Death Squad, Chutney, Felicity Lawless, Hussy Hicks ‘All Star Jam’, JK-47, Lyric, Sunny Luwe, and more, and an afterparty to keep celebrations going well into the evening.

Winners receive a coveted ‘Skull Murphy’ trophy designed by SWELL Sculpture Festival winner, artist Dion Parker, as well as prize contributions from our major sponsors. Winners also enjoy significant local and national media exposure and other career-boosting opportunities.
