WA, we missed you! After nearly a decade, triple j’s One Night Stand returned to Western Australia, with over 15,000 music lovers pouring into Barnard Park, Busselton on Wardandi Boodja for one huge, unforgettable night of Australian music.
Saturday 24 May 2025 marks a One Night Stand we’ll be talking about for years to come. WA icons Spacey Jane lit up the stage with a soul-stirring singalong, every lyric echoed back at them with love. LUUDE followed with an explosive masterclass in drum and bass to round out the night. Ruby Fields brought raw emotion to the stage, her vocals hitting even harder live. 3% took command with a fiery sunset set, dropping a powerful moment that featured a surprise special guest appearance from Inkabee and Flewnt. Blusher were a total force, blending slick choreo with a cameo from Jordi of San Cisco. Velvet Trip shimmered on the big stage, while local legends and triple j Unearthed Competition Winners Fool Nelson proved they were right at home in Busselton.
triple j’s One Night Stand 2025 was a loud reminder of the incredible music being made in our own backyard, with a lineup that resonated from the stage to the screen, and far beyond.Check out the highlights:
$230,000 and counting raised for One Night Stand charity partners including Australian music industry charities Support Act and The Push, and local organisations Karri Karrack Aboriginal Corporation and Undalup Association.

Head of triple j, Double J and ABC Country Lachlan Macara shares: “What a day! And what an undeniable display of both the calibre of artists this country produces and the appetite for live Australian music in the regions. A number of the artists on this year’s bill grew up in regional towns and had formative experiences at past editions of triple j’s One Night Stand. We can only hope there were plenty of young people on that oval on Saturday equally inspired to feature in a future One Night Stand. See you again somewhere around the country in 2026!”
triple j is incredibly grateful for the amazing support from West Australian music lovers. A huge thank you to our audience, artists, production crews, staff, partners and the entire town of Busselton – we couldn’t have done it without you.

Donnybrook Balingup Community Radio (DBCR) began broadcasting in 2016, serving the vibrant and close-knit community of the Shire of Donnybrook-Balingup in Western Australia. With a passionate team of around ten part-time presenters, the station delivers a diverse mix of music and local storytelling. Programs such as Business and Community Round-Up, Jackie’s Local, and More Than Books reflect the unique voices and stories of the region, alongside content created with local schools and regular segments like What’s On and Live and Local, promoting arts and music events.
While Donnybrook Balingup Community Radio is committed to serving its local community, the station faced a significant barrier: not all residents could reliably access the broadcast. Some people no longer have traditional radios, and the station’s FM signal didn’t reach every area within the Shire. For a community-focused station, this meant some locals were missing out.
Additionally, their previous streaming provider wasn’t compatible with widely used platforms like Google Chrome or the iHeartRadio app—limiting the ability for both locals and broader audiences to connect online.
With support from the CBAA, Donnybrook Balingup Community Radio upgraded to a new streaming service through Triton Digital. CBAA’s Alex Nagl and Andrew Morris, alongside tech support from Ben Menaglio, guided the station through the setup and training process. They now have a stable and accessible streaming solution that’s compatible across all major platforms.
The stream has helped expand access, and visitors who discover the station while in town have also become online listeners, drawn in by its eclectic and ad-free music mix – curated by program manager Neil Simpson. While some may view the music programming as primarily appealing to older audiences, the variety and lack of ads have built a growing base of younger listeners too.
With training from the CBAA team, station staff now use Triton’s analytics to track listener numbers and trends—vital data for shaping programming and growing their reach.
Thanks to the new streaming service and support provided, Donnybrook Community Radio is now more accessible than ever—reaching listeners across the Shire and beyond. For a community that values connection, the stream is a lifeline.
As Neil Simpson puts it: “The functionality and metrics available on the Triton website are very useful once we were trained by Alex Nagl and will be a vital tool going forward in tracking our streaming listener numbers. The service is very stable compared to our previous provider.”
Nine Podcasts is proud to announce the launch of The Ella Era, a fresh, fearless new podcast hosted by Ella Ding; known for her honest voice, evolving personal journey, and powerful connection with her audience.
After a whirlwind 12 months that brought major life changes and personal growth, Ella is stepping into her “best era” – and she’s inviting listeners to do the same.
Each week on The Ella Era, Ella opens up about the habits, mindsets and moments that have helped her grow – physically, mentally and spiritually. She’s also turning the spotlight on others navigating their own era of transformation – from entrepreneurs and creatives to wellness experts, cultural voices, and trendsetters across fashion, beauty, fitness and beyond.
“We’re thrilled to welcome Ella Ding to the Nine Podcasts family,” said Richard Stansbury, 9Podcasts Content Director. “The Ella Era cuts through the noise of wellness trends with something more powerful – real talk. Ella’s raw honesty and huge social following bring a bold new voice to the self-development space. Whether she’s talking to experts or sharing her own life lessons, this podcast is about meaningful progress, not just perfection.”
For Ella, the podcast is deeply personal:
“Words can’t describe how excited I am to be back in your ears. When the opportunity with Nine Podcasts came along, I knew it was my calling. I’ve always been curious about people, stories, trends, and the ever-evolving eras we find ourselves in. Whether it’s launching a fashion business, diving into unconventional health trends, or now I am navigating motherhood, I want to learn, grow, and bring you along for the ride.”
“Through this podcast, my goal is to inspire, educate, and spark conversations especially the ones people often shy away from. I’m not afraid to explore the raw, the real, and the sometimes uncomfortable topics that others might avoid.
“No topic is off-limits, and no guest is too big or too unknown. If they’ve got a story, I want to hear it – and share it.”

In a country home to the oldest continuous culture and where almost one-third of people were born overseas, SBS has long been holding up a mirror, enabling all Australians to see themselves and their stories through a distinctive media offering that can’t be found elsewhere.
“The Australia you see on SBS is the Australia we all see when we walk out our front door every day,” said James Taylor, Managing Director of SBS. “SBS’s role is to protect a plurality of perspectives, foster deeper understanding, and promote a sense of belonging for all Australians – regardless of their background and where their story began. As Australia’s most trusted news brand, trust is the foundation that drives our innovation-led news and multilingual content and that’s never been more important than in today’s global landscape of misinformation and distrust.
“We don’t tell people what to think, or feel, but provide opportunities for everyone to experience the world around them. For 50 years, SBS has been unafraid to entertain, educate and provoke audiences with bold, human stories that amplify diverse voices and connect us all. I am proud that we never stand still, continuously evolving to meet the needs of a diverse, contemporary Australia. Today we are reaching the highest audience numbers in our history with the largest volume of original Australian content.”
Where we have been
Founded in 1975 as two small multilingual radio stations, 2EA and 3EA, to help promote the Australian Government’s public health care scheme to non-English speaking communities and legislated in 1978, SBS’s multi-platform services are today free and available for all Australians in over 60 languages. And since premiering the nation’s first major prime-time Indigenous current affairs TV program, First In Line, in 1989, SBS has continued to pioneer First Nations representation, including welcoming National Indigenous Television (NITV) to its network as a free-to-air channel in 2012.
Affectionately referred to as ‘Sex Before Soccer’ in the 1980s – a reference to its raunchy foreign films and European football called by iconic sports presenter and former refugee, the late Les Murray AM – SBS over the decades has also been synonymous with bringing South Park, Scandi Noir and the EurovisionSong Contest to Australians.
Just as important has been SBS’s sustained investment in locally-produced content and Australian talent, which is focused on supporting diversity both on and off screen to reflect a contemporary Australia often not otherwise fully seen or represented.
The results are real, restless and daring stories that audiences love across news, current affairs, drama, documentary, food, sport and more.
SBS has always punched well above its weight, from the ground-breaking factual series First Australians and Go Back to Where You Came From, to more recently Gina Chick winning the premiere season of Alone Australia, hard-hitting drama Safe Home, and Courtney Act and Tony Armstrong hosting this year’s Eurovision watched by over 2.2 million Australians.
Where we are going
Today, SBS is an award-winning multiplatform, multilingual network that has been named Australia’s most trusted news provider[1] and national podcaster of the year three years running[2]. It is also the first broadcaster to allow viewers to opt-out of advertising related to alcohol, gambling and quick-service restaurants, as well as being on track to reach Net Zero by 2045.
“SBS is for all Australians, by all Australians, and we’ve never been afraid to take risks and boldly go where others won’t. Whether that’s through content that reflects and helps shape our collective national identity, digital innovation that delivers world-class audience experiences, or socially and environmentally responsible practices that show care for community,” said Taylor.
“We’ve always known who we are and what we stand for at SBS. Our success is grounded in the deep trusted relationships we have built with Australian communities over half a century and this is what makes us unique. If you want to understand the real Australia, then let SBS be your guide because in myriad ways, we are leading the way forward for a more inclusive and cohesive nation.”
