Triple J is having a One Night Stand with this regional city

The venue announcement for the regional music festival was revealed on Triple J Breakfast on Thursday, July 25, 2024.

A number of clues were heard on the national youth radio station this week, including the venue being coastal with rivers where First Nations people fished.

Other clues included "the floor is lava" and "this is the end of the V/Line".

The concert will be hosted at Friendly Societies Park on September 14, 2024.

One Night Stand, which will make a triumphant return following a five-year hiatus, is an annual music festival held in various regional cities and towns that is promoted and organised by the national youth radio station.

Australian singer-songwriters G Flip and Ruel were announced as the headliners earlier this week, alongside producer and DJ What So Not, singer-songwriter Thelma Plum, Sycco, DICE, and a Triple J Unearthed competition winner.

The national broadcaster received over 2000 submissions from punters, artists, council members, mayors, and local community members who wanted their town to host the gig.

Tickets for this year's event are $10 and will be on sale from 9am, with all proceeds raising critical funds for the Australian music community through Support Act.

Free tickets were on offer for locals on July 25 who had flocked to the ABC office to score one after their city was announced.

Jamie Monagle was on his morning walk when his best friend Martin Howell sent him a text saying "One Night Stand is in Warrnambool, get down to get tickets".

He sprinted 500 metres home to wake his 17-year-old daughter Caitlin and tell her the good news.

"When I told her she was like 'go, go go!'," Mr Monagle said.

Mr Monagle said he and his daughter were ecstatic.

"Caitlin is mad Triple J. She was brought up on it in our house," he said.

"It will be great. This is a great boost for the town."

Triple J also announced on Thursday the More Than A One Night Stand Sessions - a three-day event offering regional and remote artists, industry and communities the chance to get skilled up by some of the best in the music industry.

Kicking off on Thursday, September 12 at The Lighthouse Theatre, attendees will have the opportunity to engage in panel discussions, songwriting workshops, industry forums and more.

The event will mark the 20th anniversary of the concert which first debuted in Natimuk, Victoria, in July 2004 and featured Grinspoon, The Dissociatives, and Eskimo Joe.

It returned for another gig in a new city every year until 2020 when a planned event was scrapped due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The most recent edition was held in South Australia's Lucindale in 2019.
