A stack of big-name and burgeoning Australian talent have joined the lineup for the 2025 addition of Great Southern Nights.

“This Great Southern Nights line-up keeps on getting better and better. This is part of the government’s push to bring back live music across NSW,” Minister for the Arts, Minister for Music and the Night-time Economy, and Minister for Jobs and Tourism, John Graham, said.
“Music fans, venues and artists have been doing it tough during the cost-of-living crisis. Great Southern Nights is about firing up the live music scene – getting bands back on stage, filling up venues and bringing communities together for great nights out.”
ARIA CEO Annabelle Herd added: “As the excitement builds, we’re proud to unveil the latest lineup for Great Southern Nights, featuring an incredible array of talent – from the high-energy vibes of South East Block Party and Alison Wonderland to iconic Australian acts like You Am I, The Screaming Jets and Killing Heidi.
“Through Great Southern Nights, ARIA is proud to support artists, venues, and the broader music industry in partnership with the NSW Government. Our shared goal is one where music venues across NSW are pumping and Aussie artists are having a blast performing to crowds of excited fans, new and old.”
The new acts join a lineup that already boasts the likes of Missy Higgins, Hoodoo Gurus, and Lime Cordiale.
