Ball Park Music

Post date August 26, 2026

Over 15 years into their career, everything Ball Park Music does these days feels like a victory lap. The Brisbane indie darlings have long established their status as one of Australia’s most revered and endearing bands – with five of their seven albums having debuted in the ARIA top five, four of their songs having gone platinum and no less than a dozen Hottest 100 placements to their name. Most bands in that position would be happy to coast out their days on heyday nostalgia alone, but if it wasn’t already clear: Ball Park Music are not most bands.

Kicking off 2023 with ‘Stars In My Eyes’ reaching top 10 of triple j’s Hottest 100, and selling out nearly every show on the ‘Get The F**king Nerds Back On!’ national tour, Ball Park Music is truly proving themselves as one of Australia’s biggest bands of the last 10 years with an incredible catalogue of songs that have soundtracked so many lives.

Slowly Slowly

Post date August 26, 2026

What has always set Slowly Slowly apart is their ability to turn deeply personal experiences into songs that feel universal – pairing introspective reflections, heartfelt storytelling, and sensitive sadness with clever wordplay and an instinct for a huge melodic payoff. Following the success of Forgiving Spree (2025) – the band’s third Top 10 ARIA album – the Melbourne three-piece are entering their most defining chapter yet. Written entirely in solitude and self-produced by frontman Ben Stewart, their forthcoming sixth studio album serves as a raw, unadulterated synthesis of the band’s entire history – bringing together the raw truth of Chamomile, the storytelling of St. Leonards, the emotional revelation of Race Car Blues, the playfulness of Daisy Chain, and the explosive precision of Forgiving Spree.
The result is a body of work Stewart simply describes as, “intense”.

Since emerging in 2015 with debut single “Empty Lungs”, Slowly Slowly have grown into an unshakeable musical force, built around a fiercely loyal fanbase and a reputation as one of Australia’s most compelling live bands. Across five acclaimed studio albums – 2016’s Chamomile, 2018’s St. Leonards, 2020’s Race Car Blues (#8 ARIA Charts), 2022’s Daisy Chain (#5 ARIA Charts), and 2025’s Forgiving Spree (#1 Australian Album, #8 ARIA Charts) – Slowly Slowly have continually evolved without losing the emotional honesty at the heart of their music.

Their live resume includes taking over Melbourne’s Margaret Court Arena on their biggest-ever headline tour, completing their first UK/European headline run, and sharing stages with Red Hot Chili Peppers, Stand Atlantic, Crawlers, Amy Shark and Ocean Alley. Backed by collaborative tracks with Frank Turner, Alex Lahey, and Grayscale, alongside festival appearances at Good Things, Splendour in The Grass, UNIFY, Groovin The Moo, Party In The Paddock, and Yours and Owls, Slowly Slowly enter this new chapter at the absolute peak of their powers.

South Summit

South Summit has quickly emerged as one of Australia’s most exciting and distinctive new bands. Blending indie rock, reggae, hip-hop and alternative influences into a sound entirely their own, the five-piece has built a devoted following through honest storytelling, infectious energy and powerful live performances.

Since forming in 2020, South Summit has experienced a rapid rise, connecting with audiences across Australia and internationally through a string of acclaimed releases, sold-out tours and major festival appearances. Their debut album, The Bliss (2024), marked a major creative milestone, featuring standout singles “Givin’ It Up”, “Ottoway” and “Exceptional”. The album debuted at #2 on the ARIA Albums Chart and reached #10 on the ARIA Vinyl Chart, cementing the band’s position as one of Australia’s most promising emerging acts.

Touring has remained central to South Summit’s growth. Following multiple sold-out Australian headline tours, the band has expanded their reach internationally, performing across the UK, Europe and New Zealand while continuing to build a passionate global fanbase.

Following the success of fan favourites “TOP OF THE HILL” and “WE ARE”, South Summit entered 2026 with renewed momentum, releasing “On The Dash” and “Heartless” as the first taste of their next chapter.

In June 2026, the band released their highly anticipated sophomore album, RUN IT BACK. The album sees South Summit further refine their signature sound while pushing into new creative territory, capturing the band’s growth both musically and personally. RUN IT BACK debuted at #3 on the ARIA Australian Albums Chart, received extensive Spotify playlist support and was named Triple J Album of the Week, marking another significant milestone in the band’s rapid rise.

The release was followed by the band’s biggest Australian headline tour to date, the RUN IT BACK Tour, which saw South Summit take their explosive live show into larger rooms and new markets across the country throughout July 2026. Building on years of relentless touring and a reputation for unforgettable performances, the tour marked another major step forward for the band.

With the release of RUN IT BACK and a growing international presence, South Summit are continuing to build momentum both at home and abroad. With international headline dates, festival appearances and further touring ahead, the band are firmly establishing themselves as one of Australia’s most compelling live and recording acts, with their sights set on the global stage.

The Rions

From their early beginnings as high school classmates, The Rions have cemented their status as ones to watch – going from winning triple j’s Unearthed High in 2021 to releasing their now #1 Australian debut album Everything Every Single Day (2025) and amassing over 90 million global streams across their catalogue.

Last year began with a run of anthemic singles including ‘Shut You Out’, ‘Maybe I’m Just A Freak’, ‘Tonight’s Entertainment’ and ‘Cry’, before The Rions revealed their debut album Everything Every Single Day in October. To high praise, the record took out the #1 spot on the ARIA Australian Albums Chart, #2 vinyl and #5 overall. Three songs from the album peaked at #1 on triple j’s most played. On the live front, they played their biggest venues yet on their Australian album tour, selling out multiple 2000+ cap theatres.

Following a record-breaking year, The Rions have returned in 2026 with the release of their deluxe album, Everything (The Deluxe Edition).

As they take their brand new live show to stages around the world, The Terrys invite audiences to join them on a journey of self-discovery and celebration. With each chord strummed and each lyric sung, they encourage their fans to embrace the beauty of imperfection, to revel in the chaos of life, and to find solace in the simple joy of music.
