Brisbane four-piece making sunny, danceable indie pop, nimble guitar lines and elastic bass over electronics, built for big singalongs.
Indie pop
Australian band writing enormous, unembarrassed songs about faith, grief, and staying alive, with Springsteen-scale sincerity delivered by one of the great live frontmen.
Indie-rockHeartland-rock
Glittering, game-engine electronic from Australia's most inventive young club producer: chiptune sparkle at rave pressure, drops that sparkle as hard as they hit.
ElectronicHyperpop
Adelaide trio of Suffa, Pressure and DJ Debris who took Australian-accented hip-hop into arenas with big-chorus anthems like 'The Nosebleed Section'.
Hip-hop
Brisbane band playing loud, sun-baked indie rock with a surf-punk edge and choruses built for crowds to shout back.
Rock
Genre-smashing Melbourne punk-rap with riffs, bars, and zero regard for lanes, delivered with a hardcore band's physicality.
PunkAlt-rap
Blue Mountains production duo blending hip-hop beats, keys and bass-heavy electronics, the outfit behind the 'HyperParadise' era of Australian beat music.
Electronic
Bilious, very funny queer punk that names names: thirty seconds into the set someone is already in the crowd, and nobody is being spared.
PunkPost-punk
Newcastle, Australia group dealing in loose, sun-warmed guitar pop, with jangling hooks and easy harmonies and a coastal looseness to them.
Alternative
Brisbane four-piece reviving fuzzed-out nineties grunge, best known for 'Covered in Chrome' and its shouted singalong chorus. Suburban slacker anthems at full volume.
Alternative
Sydney soul singer trading in sunlit, unhurried grooves his manager dubbed coastal soul. Debut album 'Give Me All Your Love' cracked the ARIA top 25 in 2025.
SoulIndie
Bruised, cinematic alt-pop from Grantham's bedroom-to-BRIT-Award story, with small-town detail sung in a fog of reverb, intimacy that scales to festival fields.
Alt-pop
Sydney band led by brothers Oli and Louis Leimbach, pairing brassy, sun-baked indie pop with wry, self-deprecating lyrics. 'Robbery' is the one everyone sings back.
Alternative
Kiwi brothers making slinky, falsetto-led alt-funk: Auckland groove-pop polished to a late-night sheen, with basslines that do most of the flirting.
Alt-popFunk-pop
Melbourne singer-songwriter who drums while fronting the band, writing punchy, heart-on-sleeve synth-pop with live shows built around the kit.
Pop
Australian singer-songwriter whose piano-led debut The Sound of White and hits like 'Scar' made her plain-spoken, confessional songs a radio fixture.

Electronic
Dance producer behind the viral club-pop hit 'Kisses' with CamrinWatsin and bbyclose.
Dance
Long-running Australian punk band whose name stands for Children Of Finland Fighting In Norway, playing fast, rowdy pub rock with a skate-punk streak.
Rock
Maximalist internet pop that keeps reaching further, from the electroclash bounce of 'PQC' to the raw, inward album In Endless Awe & Agony.
HyperpopPop
Anthemic young alt band.
Alternative
Riverina-raised country songwriter with wry, warm songs about rural life, whose album 'Fallow' won the ARIA for Best Country Album. Long known for touring country halls.

Singer/songwriter
Singer-songwriter from Groote Eylandt with warm folk-soul songs sung in both English and Anindilyakwa, carrying the language and stories of home.
Singer/songwriter
Rock
Hushed southern-gothic folk duo trading harmonies over songs that sound like they were recorded in a room at 3am, with Georgia intimacy that silences a tent.
Indie folkChamber-folk
Pip Brown's project, pairing 80s synth sheen with guitar-pop hooks on songs like 'My Delirium' and 'Paris Is Burning.' Bedroom-built electropop with a rock spine.
Pop
ShoegazeAlt-rock

Alternative
Sydney DJ and former triple j host who founded the NLV Records label, playing club sets that move between bass-heavy house and global club sounds.

Australian house heater, half of the HYPERBEAM b2b with OMNOM, with flip-happy edits and festival-scale bounce.
HouseTech house
Seven-piece Australian band playing self-styled bogan funk: funk rap with horn riffs, groove bass lines and a thick Australian inflection.

Melbourne songwriter making sleazy, deadpan glam-pop about addiction and suburban drift, sung with a torch singer's theatrical weariness.

House
Melbourne DJ and producer working in the line of Detroit and Chicago house: stripped-back, functional records built for the floor. 'Actin' Tough' took him from local underground ID to a Beatport number one.
Electronic
Chicago duo pairing Via Rosa's aching vocals with Na'el Shehade's production: dance music built for heartbreak rather than euphoria.
Electronic
Metal

Dance
Tasmanian singer-songwriter writing guitar-driven indie with candid, conversational lyrics and an easy, unpolished warmth.
Alternative
Redlands, California singer and multi-instrumentalist folding psychedelic textures, R&B and jazz-leaning guitar into soulful indie rock.
Alternative
Hip-hop
Sydney trio welding rap cadences to slippery, distorted post-punk guitar: Australian art-rock that treats the mixing desk as an instrument.
