Daryl Braithwaite has announced he is stepping away from live performance, ending a touring career that has spanned nearly six decades after ongoing vocal issues made performing increasingly difficult.

Hoodoo Gurus will mark 45 years as a band with a national tour built around their singles catalogue, joined by fellow Australian acts Ratcat and The Stems.

Human Nature will release their first memoir, Only Human: Harmony Through The Hits & Hard Times, on November 3, 2026, accompanied by two exclusive live events in Melbourne and Sydney that will combine music, storytelling and reflections on more than three decades together.

The Living End frontman Chris Cheney has struck a new publishing deal with BMG, transferring ownership of a catalogue that helped define Australian rock across three decades.

Jet will return to regional Australia this October and November, adding 11 more dates to their Rumblin' Regional Revue following strong demand for the first run of shows earlier this year.

Jet have expanded their long-running relationship with BMG, with the publisher acquiring interests in the catalogue of key members of the Melbourne rock band behind Are You Gonna Be My Girl and Get Born.

This year's standalone event should have got the ARIA Hall of Fame back on track. It hasn't.
