This year’s Pan Pacific Masters Games from 3 to 11 November is set to be rocked by the biggest and best live entertainment program in the event’s history on the Gold Coast.
The Games Village at the Gold Coast Convention and Exhibition Centre will transform into a live Pan Pacs entertainment venue for more than 11,000 accredited competitors, officials and supporters over eight big nights.
The program will be headlined by ARIA Hall of Fame inductees Brian Cadd, Russell Morris and Jim Keays who will perform on the opening night (Saturday 3 November) playing hits from their prolific careers spanning over four decades.
Singer-songwriter Brian Cadd famous for hit singles ‘Little Ray of Sunshine’ and ‘My Baby’s Gone’ will be joined on stage by Russell Morris, renown for his number one hit ‘The Real Thing’ which was the highest selling single in 1969, and Jim Keays, the former lead singer of psychedelic outfit The Masters Apprentices.
Much-loved Australian rock outfit The Black Sorrows will leap into classics ‘Chained to the Wheel’ and ‘Harley and Rose’ on Wednesday (7 November) while former INXS and current Noiseworks frontman Jon Stevens will belt out a string of hits including ‘Touch’ and ‘Take Me Back’ on Friday (9 November).
Every other night of the week celebrated six-piece house band Magic Carpet Ride and resident Pan Pacs DJ Tallie are guaranteed to continue the celebrations well into the night.
Minister for Tourism and Major Events, Jann Stuckey, said this year’s line-up was the biggest in the Pan Pacific Masters Games’ history – adding to the excitement of the Gold Coast event.
“The entertainment on offer at this year’s event is another great success for the Pan Pacs, as the Gold Coast event calendar continues to shine a national and international spotlight on the region.
“As we look toward the Gold Coast 2018 Commonwealth Games, events like the Pan Pacific Masters Games demonstrate Queensland’s ability to host high quality, sporting events.
“The Newman Government is proud to support events like this through Events Queensland; working toward our goal to increase overnight visitor expenditure to $30 billion by 2020.”
Events Queensland Gold Coast General Manager Cameron Hart said in addition to the music talent line-up, the Pan Pacs will host a massive party on the last night to officially close the Games and celebrate everyone’s sporting participation over the week.
“Access to the live entertainment is free for all accredited Games participants while the general public can register as a general supporter for $65 which will allow them access to the eight-night entertainment program,” said Hart.
