25 years of Hard Rock Café Surfers Paradise

Celebrating 25 years of burgers, beers, music and memories, the Hard Rock Café Surfers Paradise invited 400 guests to party and toast the next half century. Australian rock legends Shannon Noll and Thirsty Merc performed as well as the local house band, The Hard Rock Heroes. $10 from every anniversary tee sold to guests at the party went to Support Act, Australia’s only charity delivering crisis relief and mental health & wellbeing services to artists, crew and music workers who are doing it tough. First opened in 1971 in London, Hard Rock Café now boasts over 200 locations in 74 countries and it is one of the most globally recognised companies in the world.
