Making an anticipated return this August 22nd-25th, Into The Wild Festival unveils the first names as part of the lineup for its electronic music stage. The festival, which blends a beloved sense of community, creativity, connection, and nature, will welcome artists and selectors across house, progressive, techno, alternative electronica, and many more.

Celebrated for its diverse programming, inclusive ethos, and annual charity initiatives, the family-friendly festival’s electronic music programming will see a host of names perform at Chiddingly Estate in Sussex, including Woody Cook, SuperCLAUD, Ellie Talebian, DJ Estavia, Heiko, Miss Lightbeam, Eloise Minton, DJ Kristiaan, Nik Valentine, Ross Harper, Temple Hedz, and more, set to be announced.

Renowned for its vibrant mix of live music, workshops, wild crafts, food, and inspiring speakers, Into The Wild is cherished not just as a festival but as a thriving community. What began as a small annual gathering has grown into a space for 5,000 attendees, where friendships are forged, collaborations bloom, marriages are celebrated, and even a birth has taken place.

Wild crafts and workshops remain at the beating heart of the festival experience, and 2025 promises one of the most exciting and expansive offerings to date. With over 200 workshops included in the ticket price, attendees can explore everything from traditional crafts and foraging to fire, den, and chocolate making to flint knapping with Will Lord, medicinal plant walks, yoga sessions, wild spas, and ceramic sessions. All experiences are designed to inspire deep reconnection with nature and self.

Alongside its vibrant cabaret offerings, Into The Wild has confirmed a diverse lineup of global artists, like Daraa Tribe with nomad tunes from North Africa, Ant Bahar Di, Ustad Noor Bakhsh from Rajasthan, UK rapper Viktus, Mongolian Odyssey’s throat singing, the Magic Tree collective, and Welsh folk artist Bethan Lloyd, plus many more.

Environmental and social responsibility remain at the heart of Into The Wild. This year, the festival will welcome leading organisations and charities such as the Captain Paul Watson Foundation, WWF, Greenpeace, The Twelve Step Fellowship, and the Sussex Wildlife Trust, further strengthening its long-standing commitment to conservation, activism, and ecological awareness.

Originally founded in 2014, the festival has grown to create its own CIC Wilderlands, helping to Rewild, support wildlife, and create habitat for nature.

Fresh off the back of staging its debut event on the West Coast in Fremantle, Live Nation’s ONES TO WATCH returns to New South Wales, this time posting up in the lush coastal surrounds of Byron Bay. Coming to the iconic Backroom at THE NORTHERN on THURSDAY 24 JULY, this edition of ONES TO WATCH celebrates and amplifies Indigenous Australian excellence, putting the spotlight on four of the country’s most striking names: DOBBY, LOREN RYAN, DEM MOB and ROX LAVI.

A proud Filipino/Murrawurri musician, producer and composer, DOBBY’s musical journey is intrinsically tied with his own journey through young adulthood, into a space where he carries the stories and lessons of his people forward in a way where he is able to impart knowledge onto a new generation of creatives. DOBBY’s sound has seamlessly blended rap with expansive and contemporary arrangements – a fusion that has brought DOBBY Australian and international acclaim. The release of his 2024 album Warrangu: River Story re-established DOBBY as an Australian talent to watch; his personal brand of storytelling breaking open new dialogue around how fascinating and exciting the work of our First Nations artists currently is, and continues to be.

Next on the line-up comes young Gamillaraay woman Loren Ryan, a quickly-rising star in Australia’s country music scene. Winner of the 2023 Toyota Star Maker award, and a nominee of last year’s prestigious Golden Guitar Award for New Talent of the Year, Loren’s journey has seen her performing with the likes of Troy Cassar-Daley, Jessica Mauboy, and harmonising with pop legend Kelly Rowland on The Voice AU. Known for incorporating her mother tongue into her original music as well as renditions of well-known beloved pop songs – with her breathtaking cover of Cold Chisel’s ‘Flame Trees’ having amassed over 707K streams – Loren weaves culture into her art at every turn.

Hailing from the APY lands in the community of Pukatja, DEM MOB are hip hop trailblazers in their own right – they are not only the first hip hop group from their region, but they are the first MCs to rap in Pitjantjajara language. Born out of a desire to empower youth and their community through a powerful connection of culture and music, DEM MOB has become more than just a music group: they are a movement. Their work as musicians has seen them perform internationally – to date, they are the first and only Indigenous Australian artists to have performed at Barcelona’s Primavera Sound – while constant music releases have landed them praise from tastemakers around Australia, including triple j and triple j Unearthed. 

22 year old Gomeroi man ROX LAVI has emerged as a fiercely talented young artist in only the last two years. Ipswich born and raised, Rox Lavi (in his words) was raised by rap music, and gravitated to wordplay and poetry at an early age. While hip hop remains within the core of his music’s DNA, Rox Lavi’s music today thrives on an expanded palette of influences that incorporate indie and alt-rock influences, and that fans of artists including BROCKHAMPTON and Dominic Fike would love.

Returning to host this year’s ONES TO WATCH event will be the Gen Z voice of Australian music media, Tait McGregor. A multi-platform content creator, the presenter specializes in music, from TV, radio & podcasts, to sweaty mosh pits. Having written for the likes of MTV Australia, Tone Deaf & The AU Review, she has also worked on productions for Netflix, STAN, VEVO & more.

Frontier Touring and MG Live are thrilled to announce the hotly anticipated return of global superstar Ed Sheeran, who is heading back to Australia and New Zealand next January, February and March with his all-new Loop Tour for a massive run of stadium shows.

Having already sold over 2.5 million tickets across Australia and New Zealand to date, Ed Sheeran’s Loop Tour sees the beloved singer returning to our shores with a brand-new live show that’ll follow the release of his new album, Play (pre-order here) – out Friday 12 September. Performing at stadiums in Auckland, Wellington, and Christchurch (his first show there in 11 years), before heading to Perth, Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne and Adelaide, Ed’s new live show promises to be filled with surprises, new music, as well as his biggest hits.

Watch: Ed Sheeran – Sapphire

Sheeran is an era-defining artist who has sold nearly 200 million records globally. Recently he was celebrated as a 12-time member of Spotify’s Billions Club, while Apple Music revealed his 2017 hit ‘Shape Of You’ was their most-streamed song of the last decade. Moreover, Ed recently surpassed 100 million monthly listeners on Spotify, seeing him become the platform’s 4^th most-listened to artist in the world. Last on our shores in 2023 – when he played to a record-breaking 200,000 fans across two nights at Melbourne’s iconic MCG – Sheeran’s mammoth Mathematics Tour spanned countless shows across the globe, continuing his streak of breaking records and making history.

Watch: Ed Sheeran – Azizam

Led by lead singles ‘Azizam’ (certified Gold and #1 at radio in AU), ‘Sapphire’ and ‘Old Phone’,​ Play marks the beginning of a fresh new chapter for Sheeran. The singer-songwriter’s latest work is an explorative, technicolour pop album that captures the fun, chaos, and heart of an artist reinvigorated by life and travel. Promising all-new stage production centred around the joyful, expansive sound of Play, the upcoming stadium shows will incorporate new visuals, intimate acoustic moments alongside his renowned loop pedal performances, and the full stadium singalongs only Ed Sheeran can deliver.

Inspired by musical cultures from around the globe – particularly Indian and Persian cultures and their surprising melodic connections to the Irish folk tradition he grew up with through shared scales, rhythms and melodies – Play encompasses an eclectic and borderless sound. On the album Sheeran has teamed up with producers and musicians from across the globe, showcasing his limitless musicianship.

With a brand-new album, a renewed creative spirit and a catalogue of global hits, Ed Sheeran’s 2026 stadium tour is set to be one of the most anticipated live events of the year. Don’t miss the return of one of the world’s most loved live performers!

The Grogans are kicking off their Stagger album tour this August at iconic venues across Australia including Metro Theatre, The Tivoli, 170 Russell and more with a hometown U18s show at Naarm’s Northcote Social Club, before they jet over to the states for an East Coast US Tour in October. Joined by Caitlin Harnett & The Pony Boys for the whole tour, the shows will feature local supports across different cities from indie-pop rock outfit Jet City Sports Club, alt-rockers Platonic Sex, and South Australian garage band Ethanol Blend. 

Capturing the magnetic energy of their live shows, Stagger touches on themes of mental health, taking care of yourself and your loved ones, the occasional love song, and more. As the catchy chorus first single and album opener ‘Oh Boy’ leads into sonic powerhouse of a tune ‘Come Up (Goes Down)’, ‘In My Heart’ slows it down to a new easy listening direction, followed by ‘Have a Little Dream’ – as dreamy as the title suggests – and the big open echoed instrumentation of ‘Once In A While’. Adding new textural effects in ‘Roll Back’ and last single ‘Roundabout’, ‘Happier Man’ dips into a heavier psych realm with a reminder that “striving to be a better and happier person should be a goal for everyone.” ‘Worry About Everything’ is an upbeat tune sure to have you worrying about nothing, and feel good album closer ‘All My Days’ ends on a more serious note that outlines the beauty and the beast of live music and the personal struggles that come with the lifestyle and touring.

Ibiza-based DJ SHARE (also known as Sharon Pieksma) has long outgrown the title of hidden gem. With an expanding catalog of releases on respected labels and a resume of global performances, she’s become a standout force in the electronic music world. Her distinct sound and super energetic stage presence continue to turn heads.

From DJ Booth to Studio: A Seamless Transition

SHARE began spinning tracks over a decade ago, infusing her DJ sets with deeper messages from the very beginning. Environmental consciousness has consistently been at the heart of her creative journey.

While many might remember her as Miss Universe Netherlands 2019, that title was merely a platform for her greater cause, advocating against single-use plastics and spotlighting ecological issues on a global stage.

Later that same year, she naturally progressed into music production. Her debut single, Avatar, was released in 2022 through Abracadabra, the record label of none other than BLOND:ISH. The track debuted during an Abracadabra showcase and a Bye Bye Plastic benefit, an initiative founded by BLOND:ISH aimed at eliminating plastic waste in the music scene.

SHARE hasn’t paused since. With EPs like Firewalk and Moon, she has carved out a unique sonic identity. Her track Oh Please (featuring Def Eff) landed on Crosstown Rebels, the iconic label headed by Damian Lazarus.

Taking Her Sound Global

Though SHARE initially started out as a minimal DJ, she made a name for herself with an organic sound. However, her style has grown to embrace elements of indie house and tech house. This evolution mirrors her development as a versatile artist.

After playing at beloved Dutch festivals like Gardens of Babylon, Pleinvrees, and Thuishaven, her performances quickly expanded across borders. She’s since graced the stages of international festivals and clubs, including SXM Festival in St. Maarten, Portugal’s Goat Community and Nomad Souk, La Karavane in Morocco, Dubai’s Soho Beach, and Panama’s Reactor and Playa Venao.

Now based in Ibiza, SHARE has become a fixture in the island’s vibrant scene. This summer, she’ll return several times to the mystical WooMoon nights at Cova Santa. She’s also set to make her highly awaited debut at the renowned Hï Ibiza, performing alongside legends like Black Coffee and Damian Lazarus.

Upcoming Shows

August
• 10 – Untold Festival – Romania
• 15 – WooMoon – Ibiza

September
• 20 – Hï Ibiza – with Black Coffee & Damian Lazarus

The Toronto outfit broke the internet in 2023 with their global single ‘Blame Brett’, which quickly becoming a runaway smash, clocking over 115+ million streams, 20 million views, and 15 weeks at #1 on Alt Radio at home, not to mention earning the band fans such as Mark Hoppus, Demi Lovato, and Nelly Furtado. Now, The Beaches have a new album titled No Hard Feelings set for release in August – and they’ve just released a new single, ‘Touch Myself’.

Recently seen on stage at Sydney’s VIVID Festival, Ayesha’s authentic storytelling marks a star on the rise.

Don’t miss the Dream Ride Tour this February and March – a homecoming run from G Flip, one of Australia’s most compelling and boundary-pushing artists.

About G Flip 
​Acclaimed singer, songwriter, producer, and multi-instrumentalist G Flip is stepping into a new character they have coined as Butch Springsteen while revving the engine on a thrilling new album era, an ‘80s-inspired blast where no drumbeat is too big and neon signs flash and glow over a raucous Sunset Boulevard. Get in the car, we’re going on a Dream Ride. Following the massive success of their sophomore effort, 2023’s DRUMMER, which debuted at No. 1 on the ARIA Charts and was named best album of the year by triple j, Dream Ride finds the Melbourne-born, LA-based musical polymath playing nearly every instrument and teaming back up with co-writer/producer Aidan Hogg to create an album both unpacks their experience as a queer, non-binary artist and is unabashedly inspired by Bruce Springsteen, late-night drives around Los Angeles, ‘80s reverb, and maximalist drums. Introducing this new era is the exuberant “Disco Cowgirl”, which rumbles in with the sound of a car engine and captures the ache of fleeting love and its emotional aftermath. Already a force of personality and multi-faceted artistry, G Flip is putting rubber to the road on Dream Ride, which burns so hot it’ll leave a trail of flames in the rearview.

Spacey Jane’s stardom is hardly a mystery, fluttering on Hordern Pavillion’s stage with  tenacity. The enigmatic 4-piece band is made up of lead vocalist Caleb Harper, lead  guitarist Ashton Hardman-Le Cornu, bassist Peppa Lane and drummer Kieran Lama.  Hailing from Fremantle, Spacey Jane performed with a playful boldness, selling out all 3  nights in the Hordern Pavillion. 

Coming hot off their third studio album release, If That Makes Sense, a sun-kissed  record cataloguing the band’s fascination with the gritty elements of garage rock and  indie. Spacey Jane’s sound mixes various elements, varying from 2000s indie rock  powerhouses The Strokes, The Pixies and Arctic Monkeys, to Dreampop and Shoegaze.  However, elements of However, their earlier catalogue plays with elements of  psychedelic rock such as Santana and Funkadelic as the guitar inputs are distorted  beyond recognition. In live performances, lead guitarist Ashton uses inversion chords,  its distortion and gritty sounds straight out of Mk. Gee’s record Two Star and The Dream  Police. 

I had heard of Spacey Jane from their debut EP No Way to Treat an Animal, an authentic  retrospect of upbringing set under a rebellious, grungy sound. I paid closer attention to  Spacey Jane with the release of their debut album Sunlight, a delicate mix of 2000’s  alternative rock and hazy guitar riffs. It became clear why this release had been received  with lauded praise, a reflective journey of self-discovery born out of the COVID-19  pandemic. Booster Seat, Spacey Jane’s infamous song that had a chokehold on Triple J  and every bar in Byron.  

After the release of their sophomore album, Here Comes Everybody, my growing  expectation for their records dropped as Spacey’s ostentatious sound was watered  down compared to Sunlight. Taking a break from touring in 2024, their third album  release and subsequent tour selling out Hordern over multiple days did not surprise me.  Leading up to the gig, chatter filled the air as hordes of young Australians poured in` the  venue. Many were starry-eyed teenagers enjoying their first gig and the older crowd that have seen in all. Hordern’s floor was so full you could barely muster a wiggle through the  crowds. As the lights dimmed, screams filled the room as glimmering lights were  strobing across the stage, we stood in anticipation to witness the beating heart of  Australia’s rock scene. Shouts of wonder beamed as lead vocalist Caleb’s voice echoed  in the venue and their energy magnetic. The light show was simply a spectacle,  technicoloured and representative of the band’s high energy during the night. 

The first thing I noticed was Caleb’s exceptional range throughout the performance.  Although I did not doubt his vocals were rich, his vocal range from airy falsettos to deep  bellowing was something to behold. However, Hordern’s sound design is left to be 

desired as the acoustics could not capture all the nuanced vocal delivery. Ashton and  Peppa contrasted Caleb’s vocals with groovy bass riffs and raw chord progressions, all  with a driving beat by Kieran maintaining the crowd’s tempo as the night continued. The  19-song track list blended their new release with classics from prior works, melding into  a single sound as each song transitioned seamlessly.  

Skin’s leading guitar riffs caused a frenzy as the audience began chanting the lyrics. The  song has a notable place on my heart as the album was constantly on rotation as my  friends. Growing up with my mates, exploring countless waterholes and beaches  across Northern NSW. In some sense, we were finding ourselves across the unique part  of the world we called home. It was all underpinned with this song and a flood of  nostalgia washed over me as I remember watching sundown on the headland. Another  track off their debut album, Head Cold took me back into memories of unrequited love.  The dizzying guitar melody riding along a syncopated drumbeat was beautiful to see live  and reminded me of the soft murmur of the Wilson River during springtime.  

The new tracks off the album play with their sound by adding synth leads, mixing  influences of indie rock and synthpop. Whateverrr begins with sweet guitar leads onto  airy vocals, which contrasts with Dep Leppard like guitar leads and Caleb’s almost  strained pleas for unreciprocated love. Through My Teeth plays with shoegaze sounds  with washed out guitar chords, complementing Caleb’s soft and melancholic tone  throughout the album. It was during this song a young girl began asking me a question,  which I couldn’t hear initially. She comes up to me asking to go on my shoulders, which I  hesitantly agree to, not wanting to drop the poor girl. Once she got up, we were dancing  together, and the gig began to feel livelier for me. It’s these strange but beautiful  moments between strangers, all from different backgrounds coming together for good  music.  

As the night began to end, Booster Seat’s soft pads began ringing out of Hordern as  drilling strumming sets the song’s cadence. Caleb’s wiry vocals move the crowd as  lyrics speak on reminiscing on love long gone, an anthem for Australia’s youth for the  past few years. Peppa’s airy harmonisation with blares of dreamy guitar riffs was surreal  to see live. Although the song had been overplayed to death on radio stations, you  cannot help but appreciate the band’s commitment to alternative sounds to contrast its  melancholic lyricism. Spacey Jane is a dynamic band conscience of its place in  Australia’s rock scene, highlighting the brash and bold sounds underpinning your 20s in  the sunburnt country.
