TONIGHT: Hard Rock Cafe Surfers Paradise to celebrate 25 years of burgers, beers, music and memories
RED CARPET: 5pm to 7pm
HARD ROCK CAFE SURFERS PARADISE SAYS THANK YOU Gold Coast … for 25 extraordinary years!!
THIS TIME 25 years ago, on March 22, 1996 the Gold Coast welcomed the world famous Hard Rock Cafe to Cavill Avenue in Surfers Paradise. Jimmy Barnes rocked the stage all night long. It was a defining moment in time. While much has changed since that truly epic night, the Hard Rock Cafe's mantra of 'Love All, Serve All' remains unchanged, like a perfectly tuned bass guitar in sea of lip synchers.
TONIGHT, an invitation-only event will be held, with over 400 people attending and red carpet arrivals from 5pm.
Australian rock legends Shannon Noll and Thirsty Merc will perform as well as the local house band, The Hard Rock Heroes made up of local legendary musos.

Hard Rock Cafe Surfers Paradise is part of the worldwide Hard Rock Cafe family, one that started in 1971 when Isaac Tigrett and Peter Morton, two shaggy-haired Americans, wanted to find a good American burger while living in London. Their solution? They opened their own American style diner in an old Rolls Royce dealership, and called it Hard Rock Cafe.
Today, there are over 200 Hard Rock locations in 74 countries, and it is one of the most globally recognised companies in the world.
