Legends on the Lawn

Across nearly two decades with Busby Marou, Tom Busby’s songwriting has thrived on restraint, melodic patience and an instinctive understanding of place. With his debut solo album Rockhampton Hangover, Busby steps away from the shared harmonies and collective identity of the duo to reveal a more solitary creative voice, one that feels exposed, reflective and grounded in lived experience.

After more than two decades as one-half of the duo Busby Marou, Tom Busby has officially carved out his solo path with the announcement of his debut album Rockhampton Hangover, due for release on 20 February 2026.

Tom Busby, one half of the ARIA-nominated, award-winning duo Busby Marou, is stepping out on his own this November with The Lottery Tour. Following a series of sold-out solo performances earlier this year, Busby is taking his solo career to new heights, previewing songs from his debut album Rockhampton Hangover, due for release in early 2026.

Grammy-nominated star Jelly Roll has announced a brand-new show in Townsville as part of his Down Under 2025 Tour for Face To Face Touring.
