JET

Originally hailing from Dingley in Melbourne, Jet quickly conquered the world after forming in 2001, selling more than 6.5 million albums globally and securing almost 10 x Platinum certification in Australia and Platinum in the USA and UK for their 2003 debut album “Get Born”. The album produced a string of classic singles in “Are You Gonna Be My Girl”, “Rollover DJ”, and “Look What You've Done” and netted the band 6 x 2004 ARIA awards. Both “Are You Gonna Be My Girl” and “Cold Hard Bitch” peaked at number 1 on the US Modern Rock singles charts and propelled the band to the top of festival bills and charts around the world.

Jet’s follow up album “Shine On” followed in 2006 and was rammed full of another collection of melodic rockers including, “Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is”, “Bring It On Back” and “Rip It Up”, and achieved platinum status in Australia on the back of stand-out headline shows around the world. In November 2023 Jet received the honour of being the 2023 ARIA Hall Of Fame Inductees.
GRINSPOON

With 14 ARIA Award nominations, over half a million records sold, multi-platinum sales across 25 years, and an untouchable live reputation, Grinspoon’s impact on contemporary Australian rock is undeniable. Their influence continues to shape the Australian rock scene, and "whatever, whatever" is a testament to their lasting legacy and creative rejuvenation.

Following the release of the band’s new album, whatever, whatever, Grinspoon landed an impressive #3 ARIA Album chat debut for their 8th studio album release, their first new release in 12 years. The record's success underscores the band's enduring appeal and their ability to deliver music that resonates deeply with their audience.

After playing 500+ live shows, seeing seven consecutive albums debut in the Top 10, with multi-platinum sales across 25 years, it’s fair to say they’ve earned their place in Australian music history. The band’s impressive tour ‘whatever, whenever, wherever’ kicked off in September with an extensive 45 date – performing to over 35,000 around Australia.
THE VERONICAS

Alt-Pop icons The Veronicas have captivated millions around the globe as singers, songwriters, and style icons since 2005. With their music they have created generational anthems and culture defining albums which have earned them several gold and multi- platinum RIAA and ARIA certifications and sold out performances across the globe for nearly 2 decades.

As the first Australian artists ever to score a platinum record for downloads in the US (over 1 million records sold for 2007’s “UNTOUCHED”), twelve top 10 hits in Australia including three #1s; over half a billion streams and counting, countless awards under their belt from MTV Australia, MTV Europe, Nickelodeon Kids Choice Awards, ARIA, APRA, TMF, & Los Premios MTV, The Veronicas are not slowing down.
SPIDERBAIT

The narrative of the Spiderbait story is so fantastical it could only be based in truth: three friends from a small country Australian town taking on the Australian music scene on their own terms and emerging triumphant 25 years later, the friendships unscathed but their band one of the biggest and best on the national scene.

As brash and confident as they are strange and uncompromising, the three founding members of Spiderbait – Janet, Whitt and Kram – started humbly in the rural NSW township of Finley, the fervent music lovers taking inspiration from everything from Slayer to The Bangles and meshing into one intoxicating and unique brew.
JEBEDIAH

It was almost 23 years ago that Jebediah first shambled on stage in their shorts, sneakers, blue hair, dimples, grins and smirks and started bouncing off the walls with their roaring riffs and soaring pop hooks, tearing the lid off the Big Day Out and the Hottest 100 overnight.

It's impossible for an Australian of a certain vintage to imagine those late '90s summers without those delirious early Jebs singles — ‘Jerks of Attention’, ‘Leaving Home’, ‘Teflon’, ‘Harpoon’, ‘Animal’ — blasting out of every car radio and festival PA.

23 years, six albums and piles of awards and acclaim later, the Jebs continue to captivate their devout fan base with their infectious energy and enthusiasm. There is no hiding the joy the band get from playing together and be it at packed pub or on a festival stage, it’s impossible to avoid their immersive charm.
MAGIC DIRT

Magic Dirt, the seminal female fronted alternative rock band of the 90's formed in 1991 out of the dust and noise of the industrial town of Geelong. With their inimitable chemistry, and by now legendary high energy live shows the band has amassed a legion of loyal and devoted fans with whom they maintain a longstanding and important relationship. With countless awards, nominations, festivals, tours, accolades and the adoration from critics and public alike, Magic Dirt are one of Australia’s all time classic and quintessential alternative rock bands.
