Circle the date; Saturday 22nd April is when you’ll be able to witness the sheer brilliance of some of our best in the music scene. So who, what, when, where? If you’re not familiar with One Night Stand then it’s a FREE and all ages events which means no alcohol and no drugs (think of the little ones). As for the when you’ll find out this Thursday (16th of March) when Ben and Liam reveal the 2017 line-up on triple j Breakfast. The location however, will be kept under wraps for a little while longer – but it’ll definitely be popping up somewhere in regional Australia.
To get you frothing, here are some of the best of triple j’s One Night Stand.
Mildura 2014
Violent Soho smashing out Covered in Chrome and the crowd screaming “Hell Fuck Yeah”. Can’t get much better than that.

As if Boy & Bear wasn’t enough, one of Aus’ best storytellers and singers Bernard Fanning dropped by to make us all cry when they covered the iconic Fall at your Feet by legends Crowded House.
Geraldton 2016 (again)
Urthboy ft. Bertie Blackman performing Long Loud Hours was downright unreal, as is anything Tim Levison does.
Cowra 2007
And finally to these legends, Silverchair who performed their cult favourite Straight Lines 10 years ago. #neverforget
Gippsland 2009
That one time the kings Australian hip hop Hilltop Hoods dropped into regional Victoria with pockets full of beats and rhymes.
