TEG Live stages Australia’s ‘biggest beach party ever’

With 30,000 fans having attended Fisher’s inaugural Out 2 Lunch Festival at the Gold Coast’s Coolangatta Beach on 4th May, promoter TEG Live claims that the event has made history as the largest beach party to ever be staged in Australia.

TEG Live has also reported that the Festival injected $50 million into the local economy, benefitting more than 200 businesses engaged in the planning and the delivery of the event across the region.

Additionally, it created 2,000 jobs to bring the event to life with TEG Live working with the City of Gold Coast, Queensland Police, and transport and traffic management consultants to ensure a smooth experience for patrons, staff, visitors and local residents.

Accommodation was booked up across the Gold Coast, as fans travelled interstate, intrastate and internationally to attend.

Commenting on its success, TEG Group Chief Executive, Geoff Jones “TEG is delighted with the inaugural Out 2 Lunch Festival, and it was great to see the economic impact that the festival had on the local community.

“This was no easy feat, as the planning and logistics required to deliver the event were extraordinary, particularly as this was the very first time this many people attended a staged event on Coolangatta Beach.

“We would like to sincerely thank Team Fisher, the City of Gold Coast, the World Surf League, Southern Gold Coast Chamber of Commerce, Coolangatta and Greenmount Surf Life Saving Clubs and the many, many other partners and stakeholders who helped TEG bring this epic event to life.”

At the request of Fisher, a music producer born and raised on the Gold Coast, and his wife Chloe’s request, $1 from every ticket sold was donated to the Starlight Foundation.

A further $20 donation was required for the Pink Elephants Support Network for those punters attending via guestlist or complimentary tickets.

In total, $35,320 was raised for the Starlight Foundation and Pink Elephants Support Network.
