Following the explosive success of their 2025 ZED50 celebrations, Brisbane's genre-bending mavericks Regurgitator are back in full throttle with their JUKEBOXXIN' 2026 Retrospective Singles Tour, extending deep into next year with a fistful of fizzers, full throttle nostalgia, and more of the anarchic energy that has fuelled their three-decade career.

PepperCreek Revival return with their deeply moving second single Remember, out today (28 October), taken from their forthcoming sophomore album due in February 2026.

Nick Murphy, better known to many as Chet Faker, has announced a new studio album, A Love For Strangers, due February 13, 2026 on BMG, and has released a buoyant lead single, This Time For Real, to whet appetites.
