The 2025 edition of triple j’s One Night Stand was an epic success, not just with the line-up, the educational More Than A One Night Stand Sessions, and the number of people who showed up for a massive day of live music, but for the amount of money donated to Support Act.
In 2025, all proceeds from One Night Stand ticket sales were donated to the Australian music industry charity Support Act and Australian youth music charity, The Push, alongside Undalup Association and Karri Karrak Aboriginal Corporation. Tickets were sold for $15 and sold out instantly.
Held in Busselton, Western Australia on Saturday (24 May), this year’s event locked in headliners Spacey Jane and Luude, plus beloved local acts like Ruby Fields, 3%, Blusher, Velvet Trip, and triple j Unearthed winners Fool Nelson.
Throughout the event, $57,000 of essential funding was raised for Support Act, which will go towards increasing mental health and well-being support for the Western Australian creative community.
In a statement, Support Act CEO Clive Miller said the company is “proud” to be a beneficiary of triple j’s One Night Stand in Busselton, outlining Support Act’s commitment to ensuring funds directly support creatives in WA.
“Since July 2023, we’ve provided $167,000 in crisis relief to 61 music workers across Western Australia. Each grant a lifeline for someone navigating illness, injury or personal hardship,” Miller stated.

“Through our well-being programs, delivered with partners like Western Australian Music, we’ve helped the music community in Western Australia manage trauma, improve workplace safety, access mental health support, and find solid ground in times of financial stress.”
Miller added that, through the $57,000 raised at One Night Stand, Support Act will bring a “special focus” to supporting artists and industry professionals living in Western Australia.
The statement concluded, “We’re incredibly grateful to triple j for creating such a brilliant event that not only celebrates Australian music, but also shines a spotlight on regional communities and raises vital funds to support the people behind the music.”
Last year’s One Night Stand saw its 15,000 tickets sell out in less than 24 hours, raising $150,000 for Support Act amidst the fun of the event. 2024 marked the 20th anniversary of the One Night Stand, which first debuted in Natimuk, Victoria, in July 2004 with a bill featuring Grinspoon, The Dissociatives, and Eskimo Joe.
