As daylight savings kicks into gear and the months start to warm up, the Australian Open has revealed the names who will be performing as part of their AO LIVE concert series this January.

Running across Thursday, January 23rd to Saturday, January 25th, AO LIVE will feature three days of music from a series of international headliners.

For the second year in a row, the festivities will be taking place at the larger John Cain Arena, following a few years of sell-out performances.

Kicking off the event will be US singer-songwriter Benson Boone, who will perform as part of his first tour to the country since 2022.

On Friday, January 24th, Canadian music producer and rapper Kaytranada will take centre stage, while US musicians Kesha and Armand van Helden will close out AO LIVE with a special pair of performances on the final night, which is desribed as a “festival-style grand finale” by organisers.

Each evening will see the headline artists joined by special guests who are yet to be announced.

The Australian Open has hosted their AO LIVE event since its launch in 2017, with a number of local and internationals artists performing at the iconic sporting gathering since.

Names such as TLC, Illy, Jet, Birds Of Tokyo, and more have all graced the stages over the years, with Groove Armada, Rudimental, Tash Sultana, and DMA’S on the lineup last year.

The AO LIVE concert series takes place during the final days of the wider Australian Open, with tickets to the concert series also providing audience members with a ground pass to the tennis that day as well.

“AO LIVE is an evolution of the AO’s music offering and will see live music and entertainment across the whole precinct over 21 days during January, from fan-favourite performers in Garden Square to in-demand DJ's spinning anthems on Grand Slam Oval,” says Australian Open Tournament Director Craig Tiley.

“AO LIVE has entertainment covered for all tastes and is all-inclusive on a Ground Pass ticket.”

Tickets to the 2025 AO LIVE concert series are on sale from Thursday, October 10th, with full details available via the official website.
