Stone & Wood is hopping with excitement to announce the much-anticipated return of Festival of the Stone for 2025! This beloved event, now in its 11th year, will take place on Saturday 14 June at the Stone & Wood brewery in Byron Bay, bringing together music, community and the age-old tradition of brewing with the tapping of Stone & Wood’s annual batch of Stone Beer.

Following the sold out 2024 event that featured Dan Sultan, Beddy Rays, The Beefs, Verge Collection and more, Festival of the Stone 2025 is set to deliver another unforgettable day of top-notch Australian talent, freshly poured brews and delicious bites from local food vendors. Best of all, it’s for a great cause, with proceeds supporting Fletcher Street Cottage.

The latest statistics on homelessness in NSW reveal that the Byron Shire has the highest rate of locals sleeping rough in the state, even higher than the City of Sydney. In 2024, 348 rough sleepers were recorded across the region, marking a 16% increase from February 2023. Festival of the Stone 2025 is proud to support Fletcher Street Cottage and help raise funds for their vital support hub. From providing essential services, information, referrals, practical support, advocacy and more, Fletcher Street Cottage is working hard to respond to this crisis and meet the needs of individuals facing homelessness. Stone & Wood’s Stone Beer is an annual, limited-edition winter brew, a homage to ancient brewing traditions. Crafted with precise care and the finest local ingredients, this bold and distinctive beer features select Australian malts and a unique brewing process. Inspired by traditional methods, the brewers add heated stones directly to the brew kettle, infusing smoky caramel nuances that add depth and complexity to the beer. Resulting in a rich and satisfying porter with aromatic notes of brewed coffee, rich dark chocolate and subtle hints of smoked barley, creating a perfectly balanced and complex flavour profile. Don’t miss out on the celebration of the year, and all for a worthy cause! Mark your calendars and join us in the Bay at Festival of the Stone 2025. Keep an eye on the website and socials for lineup announcements and access to the first ticket releases. FESTIVAL OF THE STONE Saturday 14 June, 2025 Centennial Circuit, Byron Bay (Cavanbah)

AUSTRALIA’S NEXT CROP OF BREAKTHROUGH ARTISTS TO PERFORM AT THE GASOMETER

Live Nation Australia is excited to announce the return of its globally renowned music discovery series ONES TO WATCH for 2025. Established to celebrate and showcase the best talent inspiring audiences and their peers in Australia and beyond, ONES TO WATCH Backed By VODAFONE will be putting three new artists on the stage in one of Melbourne’s most beloved venues this February.

For its first edition of ONES TO WATCH in 2025, Live Nation Australia hits The Gasometer in Collingwood with host Tait Mcgregor. Set to perform at the Melbourne event, are charismatic Central Coast songwriter Fletcher Kent, Melbourne alt-rock force Lotte Gallagher, and dynamic Sydney pop artist Salty.

For Fletcher Kent, his ascent in recent years has been tied to a naturally captivating vocal and songwriting talent, not to mention a performance presence that has caught the attention of many audiences – both in person and online. Debut single ‘I’ll Be’ has generated a strong following online, with over 50k followers garnered in a short period of time for Fletcher across platforms.

Having cut his teeth on major stages supporting artists including Newtown Faulkner, Kim Churchill, Vera Blue and Pete Murray, Fletcher has signed a worldwide deal with AWAL US, after his music landed on the radar of label president, Pete Giberga. With his debut album in the pipeline, Fletcher Kent’s profile is steadily rising, with 2025 set to be a touchstone year.

Impressing tastemakers and audiences through the Triple J Unearthed High competition, the then-17 year old Lotte Gallagher wasted no time in solidifying her place as one of the East Coast’s most exciting new names. With over 1 million streams to her name and a consistently growing online presence, Lotte has continued to prove herself as one to watch.

Perfect for fans of artists including Phoebe Bridgers and Angie McMahon, Lotte’s music has been charming audiences, while her journey of sonic evolution has taken her down some exciting pathways since her 2023 debut with ‘Adam’. The track earned Lotte the #1 most-played track on triple j post-official release, kicking off momentum that has seen the musician land deal signings with Liberation Records, Lonely Lands Agency and Mushroom Group; while also performing at events including Laneway Festival, NYE On The Hill and Party In The Paddock. 

Hailing from Sydney, pop artist Salty made her debut in 2020, and has consistently been delivering the goods in the studio, as well as on stage supporting the likes of MAY-A, Thomas Headon, Budjerah and Go-Jo. With over 2.2 million TikTok likes, Salty’s sphere of influence is growing fast, as is her body of music. 

Salty’s music draws inspiration from artists including Lily Allen, Kylie Minogue and Lady Gaga – influences whose music champions individuality and confidence in spades. This is heard across Salty’s catalogue, from ‘Lucy’ through to ‘Limbo’; and key 2024 tracks ‘Cut U Off’ and ‘See You In 3’. Releasing her debut EP, The Other Side, in November 2024, Salty capitalised on the momentum that had been building; matching smart production and nuanced pop lyricism with fun energy that caught attention of tastemakers including RUSSH Magazine, The Music, Milky and Purple Sneakers; as well as major outlets including Vogue Australia, iHeart Radio, Nova and HIT networks.

The ONES TO WATCH Backed By VODAFONE series has made a solid impact within the Australian music community. In Australia since 2023, the series has been serving industry and fans exclusive opportunities to see some of the country’s best talent perform in intimate environments across Melbourne, Sydney, Darwin and Brisbane, highlighting the talent of the current wave of Australian talent primed to make their impact in other markets.

Since its establishment in North America, the ONES TO WATCH series has been able to support and promote artists such as Dua Lipa, Olivia Rodrigo and Halsey early in their careers. So far in Australia, ONES TO WATCH has platformed artists including Chanel Loren, J-MILLA, Georgia Lines, Ishan, Adrian Dzvuke, Phebe Starr, J.Tajor, Yung Milla, Juran, Blake Rose, Sophisticated Dingo, STUMPS, Forest Claudette, Teenage Joans, Carla Wehbe, ZPLUTO, WIIGZ, Hoodzy, East AV3, Colourblind and Saint Lane at events around the country.

A groundbreaking audio and visual show, Zimmer’s upcoming tour marks the Down Under return of the legendary composer, who rocked Coachella in 2017 and sold out over 20 shows across 17 cities across the US and Canada in 2024. With the support of his outstanding 19-piece live band and a full orchestra, Australian fans will be swept away from the sound of the first note and journey through a selection of the composer’s well-loved scores from some of cinema’s biggest films. Joining Zimmer onstage as part of the Hans Zimmer Live tour is acclaimed Australian singer Lisa Gerrard, who will perform a selection of the most popular songs she co-wrote with Zimmer, such as Mission: Impossible, King Arthur, Black Hawk Down, Tears of the Sun and Gladiator – which won her a Golden Globe and Oscar nomination.

The newly arranged concert suites include music from Gladiator, Pirates of the Caribbean, The Dark Knight, Interstellar, The Lion King, The Last Samurai and Dune, for which Zimmer received his second Academy Award®. ​

“I’m thrilled to return to Australia with my wonderful band and excited to share this phenomenal show,” said Zimmer. “I love this feeling of uniting my family of extraordinary musicians with you, the audience. Just an unbelievable family of talents that – to me – makes them the best supergroup of musicians in the world. But nothing would have meaning without the good grace and support of you, the other part of the family – the audience. Ultimately, the music connects us all, and I promise you this: we will always play our best, straight from the heart.”

Hans Zimmer’s extraordinary melodies and modern compositions captivate a huge worldwide fanbase across generations. He has already energized countless international cinema blockbusters, in addition to the above: James Bond – No Time to Die, Inception, Dunkirk, Man of Steel, The Dark Knight trilogy, Wonder Woman, Kung Fu Panda, 12 Years A Slave, Top Gun: Maverick, and Dune: Part Two.

Hans Zimmer has scored more than 500 projects across all mediums, which combined have grossed more than $28 billion dollars at the worldwide box office. Zimmer has been honored with two Academy Awards, three Golden Globes, five Grammys, an American Music Award, and a Tony Award.
