Major changes are happening at triple j, including getting the band back together for two beloved hosts.

This morning, it was announced that Jordan Barr is joining Luka Muller as the new co-host of Jordan & Luka on triple j Drive from Monday, 13 July.

The news arrives as Concetta Caristo signs off from triple j this Friday (26 June), with Abby & Tyrone moving to triple j Mornings—from 6 am Monday to Friday—and Jordan & Luka taking over triple j Drive from 3 pm on weekdays. From 6 am this Friday, triple j will relive all the best moments of Concetta on triple j Mornings.

Jordan Barr is currently on triple j Weekends and wraps up that stint this Sunday, 28 June. In addition to presenting on triple j, she has experience performing at comedy festivals, appearing at the Edinburgh Fringe, and appearing on comedic series such as Spicks And Specks, Ground Up, and Question Everything.

Jordan & Luka made their triple j debut co-hosting Weekend Arvos in 2024. Soon after, however, they began to host separately across Breakfast and Weekends. Now, they’re reunited, just during a different segment.

“I’m incredibly excited to step into triple j Drive,” Barr said. “It’s such a dream come true, I’ve genuinely had nightmares that I’m being pranked, and none of this is real. And I get to do it with my friend Luka Muller!!! His comedy, paired with a passion for the local music scene, is unmatched.”

She continued, “I used to come home from school, make an afternoon snack with totally insane ingredients from the cupboard, and put on triple j Drive. It was so formative, and I could never have imagined I’d be working here one day, let alone presenting a show that means SO MUCH to me.”

Muller added, “I’m SO fired up to bin the 4 am alarm and have a muck around in the afternoon with Jordan. She’s one of my oldest and closest friends, and I can’t wait for more of the country to fall in love with her. At Splendour In The Grass in 2022, we cried together after finding a human turd next to her tent, so if we’ve been through that, I think we can do anything.”
