HOSTED BY ELIZA HULL
FEATURING MATHILDE ANNE, R.EM.EDY AND COOPER SMITH

Continuing to redefine their status as one of the premier live music discovery platforms in the country, Live Nation’s ONES TO WATCH series today announces their final edition for 2025: 

an event held in Melbourne on Wednesday 26 November, to coincide with 

International Day of People with Disabilities (IDPWD) – observed on Wednesday 3 December.

Championing and celebrating incredible artists who have been breaking down barriers with their music, encouraging inclusivity and an industry shake-up that has long been needed to benefit those living with myriad disabilities, ONES TO WATCH is excited to bring a new roster of expertly curated talent to a room full of fans and industry professionals alike.

Working closely with award-winning songwriter, performer and activist ELIZA HULL, the ONES TO WATCH team is excited to present a lineup of artists who represent some beautiful creative corners of Australian music that are positioned to crest new waves of success in the near future.

The evening will be hosted by Eliza Hull, who will also close the night with a special performance – a poignant reminder of her own status as one of Australia’s best voices. A striking songwriter, Hull’s music has been embraced by Australian and international audiences alike in recent years, touring throughout Australia and the UK, delivering spellbinding performances to growing numbers of fans who have been instantly drawn to her natural gifts as a storyteller. 

With a new record due in 2026, Hull has remained busy across a number of different projects while not on tour, including international collaborations and exploring the fruits of a recently signed worldwide publishing deal with Sony Music, while led to an emotive reimagining of Silverchair’s ‘Tomorrow’ for Australian drama, Playing Gracie Darling.

In working with ONES TO WATCH to shape this November event, Hull has explained, “This is exactly what the industry needs right now – a night to celebrate and amplify the incredible artists with disability in this country. I’m incredibly grateful to Live Nation for stepping in and showcasing talent that is so often underrepresented. I’m super proud of the artists I’ve curated. As a musician with a disability myself I know firsthand that there are still barriers in the industry, but moments like this give me real hope for what’s ahead.”

Set to perform at this final ONES TO WATCH event for the year, Melbourne-based pop artist MATHILDE ANNE will captivate with her unique blend of pop and indie stylings. Making waves with her alt-pop debut album NORMAL in 2024, Mathilde has since risen prolifically within the local space; her music weaving through ethereal sounds and evocative songwriting, exploring themes of young adulthood, womanhood and living with neurodivergence. Mathilde has shared stages with the likes of Cub Sport, Telenova and more, and is looking ahead to a busy 2026 with the highly-anticipated release of her new EP, Cigarettes and Anxious Sex.

Joining her will be R&B/pop chameleon, R.EM.EDY, a fellow Melbourne-based artist who has been shifting boundaries in her effortless blend of genres and sonic influences. Ranging from R&B to soul, pop, hip-hop and dance music, r.em.edy has found a natural calling in music as a way for her to not only tell her own stories, but to be a vessel for inspiration and change. Advocating for fellow artists with disabilities including ADHD, Autism and POTS, re.me.dy has generated more than 5 million streams for her music, as well as a fiercely loyal fanbase around the country.

Completing this ONES TO WATCH lineup is talented Australian DJ, COOPER SMITH. Creating music and soundscapes that are instantly engaging as they are electrifying, Cooper’s success as a DJ has been driven by a spirit to create a new lane for himself in a scene already dominated with unique personalities. His commitment to breaking barriers has seen Cooper’s profile continue along a rapid, upward trajectory, with shows alongside the likes of Torren Foot, Airwolf Paradise; on the Australian Open Main Stage, and in renowned clubs including New Guernica and Revolver, cementing his status as a talent to keep an eye on.

Throughout 2025, the ONES TO WATCH music discovery series has delivered successful events right around Australia, bringing packed out events to venues in Brisbane, Melbourne, Sydney, Perth and Byron Bay. Providing a stage for Australian and international artists alike to captivate an audience of fans and influential industry players, in a unique and intimate setting, Live Nation’s ONES TO WATCH has become a globally renowned and respected pathway for artist exposure and support. 

Capping off another busy year with this final event in Melbourne, raising awareness for and celebrating International Day of People with Disabilities (IDPWD), ONES TO WATCH is keen to continue their support of up and coming artists who are changing the culture and game in Australian music.

“Collaborating with Eliza Hull on this Ones To Watch showcase to elevate these voices reinforces our shared commitment to championing inclusivity across the industry, and it’s a proud moment to celebrate the incredible talent of these artists in the lead-up to the International Day of People with Disability.

As part of the broader Ones To Watch program, this event helps create real pathways for emerging talent, opening doors, building connections, and ensuring every artist has the chance to be seen, heard and supported by the industry” Michelle Lucia, SVP, Product & Innovation, Live Nation Australia & New Zealand.

Bali’s Biggest Music Festival, Djakarta Warehouse Project,
Set to Host Calvin Harris, Charlotte de Witte, Fisher, Hugel, Sammy Virji, Skrillex, Steve Angello, and More This December

This December 12-14, 2025, Djakarta Warehouse Project (DWP) returns to Bali, transforming the island’s breathtaking GWK Cultural Park into a world stage for electronic music, art, and community. What began as a club night in Jakarta has evolved into one of Asia’s most respected music festivals, bringing its signature energy to the Island of the Gods for an unforgettable three-day celebration.

Held at GWK Cultural Park, DWP 2025 unfolds in one of Bali’s most iconic and atmospheric locations. The vast outdoor venue, crowned by the towering Garuda Wisnu Kencana statue, captures the island’s creative pulse – open skies and tropical warmth. As day turns to night, the park shifts from glowing sunsets to a horizon alive with light and sound, creating a setting that feels both grounded in culture and charged with dancefloor energy.

Fisher makes his exclusive festival appearance in Southeast Asia at the 2025 edition, joining a powerful lineup of global icons and diverse innovators from a myriad of scenes. Calvin Harris, Charlotte de Witte, Hugel, Sammy Virji, Skrillex, and Steve Angello bring their infectious energy, joined by Cyril, Dipha Barus, an unprecedented exclusive first-ever-in-Indonesia triple billing from DubVision b2b Matisse & Sadko b2b Third Party.

Reflecting DWP’s commitment to celebrating Asia’s diverse and dynamic electronic scene, this year also spotlights rising regional talent. Singapore’s FVDER brings a forward-thinking blend of house and bass, while Indonesian favorite LTN returns with his internationally acclaimed progressive sound. Indonesia’s own XYRA makes his long-awaited DWP debut, joined by Vietnam’s Sphinix, who adds cinematic depth and texture to the lineup. Rounding out the regional showcase, Japan’s YAKSA and TJO join forces for an exclusive back-to-back performance, uniting two decades of club culture and high-octane energy.

Extending beyond the main event, DWP Bali Music Week offers a full week of island-wide programming that blends culture, creativity, and community. Beachside pre-parties, wellness sessions, label takeovers, and cultural activities invite festivalgoers to experience Bali’s rich spirit in new ways.

Every year, DWP pushes creative and technical boundaries, and its 2025 debut in Bali will be its most ambitious yet. Expect monumental stage designs inspired by Indonesian artistry, cutting-edge lighting and pyrotechnics, and immersive environments that blur the line between art and performance. Each element has been carefully curated by Ismaya Live to capture Bali’s cultural soul while delivering the world-class production DWP is known for.

AUSTRALIAN DATES CO-HEADLINED BY BARKAA
DEBUT AOTEAROA DATES SUPPORTED BY REI

Powerful hip hop duo SNOTTY NOSE REZ KIDS are wasting no time in continuing to build upon the momentum that has generated in Australia– confirming their Australian return, as well as their debut in Aotearoa/New Zealand across February and March, 2026.

SNOTTY NOSE REZ KIDS represent more than just a hip hop firebrand coming out of British Columbia. The rappers, hailing from the Haisla Nation, are cultural gamechangers; fusing the storytelling and ardent connection to their histories and ancestral lines with a ferocious brand of music and forward thinking sounds. 

The release of their sixth album RED FUTURE in 2024 repositioned SNOTTY NOSE REZ KIDS as one of Canada’s most important creative forces. The album earned critical praise, as well as the Juno Award for ‘Rap Album of the Year’ in 2025; making SNOTTY NOSE REZ KIDS the first Indigenous artists to do so. Also long-listed for the prestigious Polaris Music Prize, the project proved to be a moment of redefinition for SNOTTY NOSE REZ KIDS and as Australian audiences have witnessed on previous visits, the music and the messaging have never been more urgent or poignant. 

First Nations excellence will be celebrated at all stops of SNOTTY NOSE REZ KIDS’ Australian and Aotearoa/NZ run; with award-winning Malyangapa, Barkindji rapper BARKAA co-headlining all Australian dates, and award-winning Tāmaki Makaurau/Auckland artist REI supporting at both shows in Aotearoa/New Zealand. Representing some passionate storytelling and uncompromising performance styles, this SNOTTY NOSE REZ KIDS return is one that could not have been curated more perfectly.

The tour begins on the West Coast with an appearance on the 2026 PERTH FESTIVAL program on February 21. SNOTTY NOSE REZ KIDS then head down the Australian East Coast with BARKAA and special guests, before heading to Aotearoa for the first time, where REI and special guests will join for these unmissable Aotearoa shows. Ngāti Raukawa, Ngāti Pākeha songwriter and producer REI has been leading a wave of innovative artists fusing culture, language and music out of Aotearoa. The 6 time Waiata Māori Award winning artist has taken his music global in recent years, and continues to redefine what it means to be a modern artist in Aotearoa working te reo in with clashing genres such as hip hop, R&B and electronic.

“Australia is like our home away from home. As Indigenous people from Turtle Island, we can relate to the struggles of Indigenous people in Australia. Every time we come, it’s nothing but love and we’re stoked to be back and playing shows in both Australia and New Zealand this time around.” SNOTTY NOSE REZ KIDS

For Australian punters, the opportunity to see SNOTTY NOSE REZ KIDS and BARKAA together on one bill is not one to be missed. Powerhouses in their own right, the 7x ARIA Award nominated, National Indigenous Award winning rapper has cemented her status as one of Australia’s finest and potent voices. With over 10 million streams and continued positive influence spreading nationwide with her music, BARKAA is set to embark on a bright new chapter in 2026 – this tour perfectly timed for such a kick off.

“I’m so honoured to be joining my First Nations brothers, SNRK, on their tour next year, connection is everything for us mob and sharing culture! To be able to continue the song-lines of our old people and putting power back into my people means everything to me. LAND BACK!” BARKAA

The tour also marks an exciting collab between SNOTTY NOSE REZ KIDS and BAD APPLES MUSIC – the music label, collective and platform for First Nations excellence, celebrating its tenth anniversary in 2025. Since being founded by BRIGGS ten years ago, Bad Apples has grown into a community-driven movement, one that supports and uplifts First Nations talent through collaboration, mentorship, and uncompromising artistic freedom.

“We’re stoked to be sharing the stage with our homie BARKAA in Australia and our brother, Rei, in New Zealand. This all started with the Perth Festival reaching out and bringing us onto their festival and we’re excited to play Perth for the first time. We can promise you energy energy energy on this next tour. See you on the road.” SNOTTY NOSE REZ KIDS

PRAISE 

“Snotty Nose Rez Kids continue to make waves in the hip-hop industry while also uplifting their community. They effortlessly blend introspective lyricism into upbeat and lighthearted dance-worthy anthems. SNRK embodies representation for the modern music lover.” 

EUPHORIA

“Their sound, grounded in unparalleled lyrical skill and a uniquely natural storytelling ability, quickly established their reputation…”

Big lunch is BACK! Melbourne bogan-funk favourites Playlunch are set to bring their nostalgia-packed, good-time-guaranteed live shows across the east coast on a mammoth 29 date run in late 2025 and into 2026. Kicking off with an already sold out show in Belgrave, the Sex Ed Regional Tour will hit headline and festival stages across VIC, TAS, QLD, NSW, WA, and ACT from December through to May.

Victorian fans who missed out on the band’s Melbourne shows at 170 Russell, The Leadbeater and their surprise late night sets at The Night Cat will have ample opportunity to catch Playlunch in action throughout the first half of the year, with dates in Warrnambool, Phillip Island, Bendigo, Ballarat, Frankston, Lorne, St Kilda, South Morang, Traralgon, and Barwon Heads. 

The band will venture back across the country to Western Australia, with dates scheduled on NYE, before heading back in January for performances in Bunbury, Margaret River, and Albany, as well as Queensland stops on the Sunshine Coast and Gold Coast. New South Wales lunchers can catch Playlunch in Byron Bay, Albury, Gosford, Sydney, Newcastle, Avalon Beach, Wollongong, and Archies Creek, and Canberra will be treated to a one-off show. Playlunch are also scheduled to return to Tasmania for Good Gumnuts Festival, plus a headline show in Hobart. 

The regional run follows Playlunch’s completely sold out headline tour in September, where they played their biggest headline shows to date across the country. Reflecting on the tour and looking to the future, Playlunch say: 

“It’s been such a wild 3 months since we put out our sophomore album Sex Ed, and the response has been insane. The cap city album tour was absolutely bonkers – we’re still pinching ourselves that all those shows SOLD OUT so quickly (in such MASSIVE venues…what the helly) and the response from people was just wonderful. We also know how many people weren’t able to make it to one of those gigs or missed out on a ticket, SO……

We’re announcing our biggest headline run to date across regional locations around Australia (with a few festivals and special exclusive shows sprinkled in for good measure!). Touring regionally has always been such a big priority for our band since the very start, and getting around to all the people who continue to support us. To be able to keep the Sex Ed train rolling is so special! We’ll be playing a whole heap of the new tracks from the record live for the very first time in these locations (can’t wait to show you!), as well as all the favs from our debut album.”

Having just signed with international booking agency Mint Talent Group in North America, don’t sleep on the chance to see Playlunch in action before the rest of the world catches on.

“These will be the last Australian shows for quite a while as we are looking to see what the rest of the world has in store for us; so we hope you are able to grab a ticket and make it a night to remember. Everyone is in for an absolute treat, with a show of nonstop dancing and singing across the whole lineups!”

Playlunch’s Sex Ed album, released in August via ABC Music, was immediately adored, debuting at #7 on the ARIA Australian Artist Charts and cracking the Top 5 for physical sales. The release was followed up by an instant classic triple j Like A Version, with the group covering The Weather Girls’ ‘It’s Raining Men’. Earlier this month, Playlunch were nominated for two J Awards, including Unearthed Artist of the Year and Australian Music Video of the Year for their viral single ‘Keith’. The iconic track also made its way into bbno$’s setlist at his recent Melbourne show.

With an infectious catalogue of genre-blending tracks covering nostalgic and distinctly Aussie themes like school athletics days, Blue Light Discos, and the peculiar world of daytime TV on a sick day, Playlunch’s upcoming tour promises audiences a sense of euphoric escapism and unabashed joy. Pack your schoolbags and grab your Yu-Gi-Oh! cards for childhood nostalgia’s night of nights, coming to a city near you with additional dates due to be announced in the coming  months. 

Tickets are on general sale from Friday 21st November at 10.00am local time, with DAL/EARLY LUNCH presale available on Wednesday 19th November at 10.00am local time. Visit destroyalllines.com for tickets and further information.

About Playlunch

Forged in the depths of lockdown in a share house home-studio somewhere in Melbourne’s eastern suburbs, Playlunch is the chaotic, genre-bending brainchild of producer and multi-instrumentalist Liam Bell. A wild blend of retro dance music, late ‘90s/early 2000s Aussie nostalgia and unapologetic suburban swagger, Playlunch aren’t just riding a wave—they’re creating their own: a loud, proud, and irresistibly fun genre they call Bogan Funk.

Since bursting onto the scene in April 2022, Playlunch have gone from a cult curiosity to one of Australia’s most exciting and talked-about new acts. Their 2023 debut album, Who’s Ready For A Good Time?, laid the foundations with viral TikTok moments, triple j High Rotation, and a sold-out 500-person shows across Australia – but Playlunch aren’t just a viral moment. 

In an industry facing tough economic headwinds, Playlunch have defied the odds, powered by a fiercely loyal and ever-growing fanbase. Their 2024 showcase at BIGSOUND cemented their reputation as one of Australia’s most exciting emerging acts, with eyes now firmly set on their next era.

2025 has seen Playlunch cement their place in the national spotlight with the release of their sophomore album Sex Ed — a bold, cheeky, and sonically irresistible evolution of their Bogan Funk manifesto. The standout single “Keith” became a breakout hit, racking up over 3 million streams across DSP’s, 10 million+ views across TikTok and Instagram Reels, and earning triple j Feature Track alongside high rotation and community radio saturation across the country. Thanks to its hilarious yet heartfelt tribute to every middle-aged Aussie bloke you’ve ever known, “Keith” struck a chord far beyond their core fanbase—spawning thousands of memes, fan videos, drag performances and even unofficial pub karaoke nights. The track reached #1 on the Spotify Viral 50 (AU) and helped propel Sex Ed into national charts and end-of-year “Best Of” lists. 

Playlunch’s insane live show has made them a must-see act across the country. Across NYE on the Hill, Party in the Paddock, Hyper Festival (to name a few), and a headline tour of packed-out 1200 CAP venues, they’ve built a reputation for turning any crowd into a sweaty, laughing, dancing mess. Wherever they go, Playlunch take nostalgic school disco and amp it up to full-blown festival euphoria.
