Live Nation has launched Next On, a fantastic new initiative designed to give the next generation of Australian and New Zealand artists a genuine leg-up!

I caught up with Emily Taylor from Live Nation to chat about how the program works, why giving emerging artists access to major venues and industry support can make such a difference, and what they’re looking for when it comes to finding the next big thing.

We also talked about some of the artists who have already come through the program and why Next On could be a pretty exciting opportunity for artists looking to take that next big step.

We welcome the incredible Kate Duncan from The Push to talk about their incredible 40th Milestone!

From its iconic Push Over festival, which gave generations of young music fans and artists the chance to experience live music, to its continued work creating opportunities for young people across the country, The Push has played a huge role in shaping Australia’s music scene.

To mark the milestone, Push Over is returning to Melbourne’s Royal Botanic Gardens this November, bringing together legendary alumni including Bodyjar, Frenzal Rhomb, Killing Heidi, Magic Dirt and Regurgitator, alongside a new generation of artists including Alex Lahey, Alice Ivy, Baker Boy, Ruby Fields and members of Teenage Joans and Public Figures.

It’s a celebration of The Push’s incredible history, its impact on young Australians and the future of live music.

Casey Barnes’ new album has gone straight to #1 on the Australian Music Charts!
We caught up with Casey before the album’s release and his massive tour, which is happening right now to chat about the writing process, his daughter joining him on some of the shows, his love for the Hawks, and what might just be the best “think on your feet” moment while supporting Bryan Adams!
Strap yourself in, because it’s an incredible ride and I feel like this is still only the beginning! 🚀

It's hard to believe this is the first time Brad has joined us in the studio!
The first time we ever spoke, he was sitting on the back of a tractor during COVID on his property in Rocky, and since then, it's been an amazing ride. From #1 albums and sold-out tours to playing some of the biggest festivals, it's always great to catch up and talk music, especially now that he's added a brand-new piano to the studio!
Brad also talks about his love for Jindabyne, where he grew up, and an exciting homecoming show coming up in the place he still holds so close to his heart.

It’s been a very turbulent couple of weeks for Phil Jamieson.
He was 27 shows into a 44-date national tour celebrating the release of his second album, 10Charlie, when he injured his back on stage and had to be taken straight to hospital, forcing him to cancel the remainder of the tour.
It’s never dull, but there’s still plenty to celebrate and reflect on with this incredible album. Produced by the amazing Oscar Dawson from Holy Holy, 10Charlie is a fantastic listen.
We’re wishing Phil a speedy recovery and can’t wait to hear these songs live when he’s back on stage!
