Our city is rapidly becoming one of the most vibrant event destinations in Australia. The city’s annual events program takes advantage of our magical coastline, superb indoor and outdoor spaces and the ‘green behind the gold’ with our untouched natural attractions hidden away in the hinterland.
One of the most energetic events is the annual VIVA spectacle, held in the heartland of Surfers Paradise.
Paying tribute to musical gods like the late, great Elvis Presley is only one part of the broader VIVA festival program.
There is something on for the entire family so make a date, dust off your blue suede shoes, and get down to VIVA.
Get ready to make some memories at VIVA Surfers Paradise! This is my 6th year at this incredible event and I am honoured to once again be the host for this year’s festivities. This tribute artist festival runs for ten days here in the precinct. Every day you will have the opportunity to see and hear exceptionally talented singers & musicians who will take you back in time.
I am pleased to announce that hitting the stage at VIVA Surfers Paradise for the first time, is Brycen Katolinsky and back by popular demand, we also have Jay Dupuis. These two international Elvis tribute artists will deliver performances you will not want to miss!
Of course there is so much more to experience at this year’s VIVA Surfers Paradise, so please check out the schedule of events listed for each day and start making your plans.
Welcome to the Gold Coast for Australia’s largest tribute festival, VIVA Surfers Paradise!
Music lovers of all ages will pay homage to music legends over this ten-day festival set on the stunning backdrop of Gold Coast’s coastline.
Whether you’re renewing your vows while you’re here, taking in vintage and display vehicles in the ‘show ‘n’ shine’, or dancing the night away to your favourite music, there is plenty to keep visitors to this festival entertained.
The Palaszczuk Government is proud to support VIVA Surfers Paradise through Tourism and Events Queensland’s Destination Events Program, which helps attract tourists, support jobs and foster community pride.

Million Dollar Quartet Broadway musical aboard the

Kris Knight has performed throughout Australia, Asia and recently rocked a six week tour of New Zealand where he featured on New Zealand Television Show, Good Morning. Knight’s meticulously tight band recreates the original scene as it were 1959, laying down all songs and harmonies live with real instrumentation and no computer enhancements. The Australian Buddy Holly Show takes the audience on a musical journey from Buddy Holly’s forgotten classics to your favourite tunes – the only problem with this show is you won’t want it to end!
A proudly Brisbane based production featuring Wayne Vitale and five full-time musicians in an entirely live, two hour show with over 30 songs! Vitale delivers Bowie vocals like no other, performing true to the star’s on-stage personas and respecting one of the best voices ever recorded. With over 3000 live performances under his belt with numerous bands and tribute acts, Vitale’s musical talents are showcased in this high energy high fashion show. See “Ziggy Stardust”, “Aladdin Sane”, “The Thin White Duke” and “New Wave 80’s Bowie” all come to life with classic costumes and makeup from each period.
Australia’s John Blunt is the most recognised Freddie Mercury tribute artist in the world today. Portraying him in the 2016 docu-drama The Freddie Mercury Story – Who Wants to Live Forever, which aired to an audience of over 35 million, Blunt has since performed shows and promotions in the UK in readiness for a massive northern hemisphere tour in 2018. Fresh out of performing a season of sold out shows in Melbourne and Macau as part of the honoured Las Vegas Show ‘Legends in Concert’, blunt is back at VIVA by popular demand. Don’t miss the surreal experience of seeing John as Freddie!

The southern charm of Jay Dupuis coupled with his
uncanny sound and presence will make you feel as if
you are watching the King himself! In 2014, Dupuis
was named the Graceland Ultimate Elvis Tribute
Artist winner. Dupuis transports audiences back to
the rockabilly days of Elvis, from the Louisiana Hayride
to The Ed Sullivan Show, and he is always looking
for new ways in which to provide fans the thrill and
magic of seeing Elvis on stage. He has the particular
distinction of being the only Elvis tribute artist that
original members of Elvis’ TCB Band will play with.

Greg Andrew has earned the reputation as one of the best Elton John tribute artists in the world. In 2017 he became the first Elton John to perform at the prestigious TRIBFEST UK, the world’s largest and most recognised tribute artist festival held in Yorkshire, England. Andrew is in demand with regular features on international cruise ships and overseas tours, having performed in over 30 countries. His virtuosic piano playing and vocal timbre are outstanding on their own, however this uncanny natural resemblance to Sir Elton John is mind blowing!
Nic King represented Australia in 2017’s Ultimate Elvis Tribute Contest at Graceland. A classically trained singer, King has been paying tribute to Elvis for the past 10 years. He’s appeared in major theatre productions such as Elvis Caburlesque, Destination Showgirls, Elvis Cabaret, Elvis Cabaret with a Greek Twist and Licensed to Thrill. King transports his audience back to Vegas-era Elvis with vocals, stage presence and charisma which will leave you wanting more!
