A one-night tribute concert celebrating the catalogue of Australian music icon John Farnham will take place at Melbourne's Rod Laver Arena on 20 September 2026, bringing together more than 120 performers, a 38 piece orchestra, choir and Farnham's longtime touring band in support of Head and Neck Cancer Australia. The event, titled The Songs Of John Farnham: A Living Legend The Celebration Concert, will feature Australian and international artists performing songs from across Farnham's career, although organisers confirmed Farnham himself will not perform.

Australian singer-songwriter Mia Wray has returned with the new single ‘Isn't It Funny', a track that continues the introspective songwriting direction established on her recent release ‘When We Were Young', arriving after one of the biggest touring periods of her career. The song follows Wray's appearance on Ed Sheeran's 17-date Australian and New Zealand stadium tour earlier this year, exposing the Melbourne-based artist to her largest audiences to date.

Rose Carleo has returned with ‘42 Days’, an album that combines personal grief with classic Australian rock influences, while drawing inspiration from figures including AC/DC's Malcolm Young family and Elvis Presley.

Melbourne artist Grace Cummings has announced her fourth studio album, Bloodhorse!, with the first track from the record, My God, introducing themes of control, fear and modern disconnection ahead of the album's August release.

The Huxton Creepers will mark the 40th anniversary of their debut album 12 Days To Paris with a vinyl reissue and their first national tour in 15 years, performing the record in full for the first time in the band's history.

ARIA Award winning Gamilaraay artist Thelma Plum will return to stages across Australia this July and August for her first national acoustic tour, revisiting songs from across her catalogue in a stripped back live setting.

Dom Dolla will return to Melbourne for an Australian exclusive stadium event in September, bringing a new large scale production to his hometown after becoming the first electronic artist to headline an Australian stadium show.
