RÜFÜS DU SOL returns to Melbourne for the first of three sold-out homecoming shows on their Inhale/Exhale tour, with support from SG Lewis to deliver an electrifying night of emotion, energy and electronic perfection.

Reflecting on an "unbelievable" year and looking to the future, The 046 deny rumours of hip-hop's decline and call on Warren G and Snoop Dogg to collaborate.

"It’s been another incredible year for Australian music, thank you to all the artists who’ve soundtracked our 2025," said triple j's Manager of Music Programming, Nick Findlay.

"I just hope I can make a hundred more albums in my life," the 21st SoundMerch Australian Prize winner says excitedly.

As Ninajirachi continues to rise a massive wave of popularity thanks to her debut album, 'I Love My Computer,' let's unpack the myriad steps that led to the Aussie star's purple patch.

“We always get messages, even now, that people who loved us back in the day are coming out and seeing us for the first time."

"To sincerely contribute to the awesome story of Australian music was one of my highest hopes," Ninajirachi says of her prestigious win.

The two-tier ticketing system looks to support emerging acts, while offering attendees a more affordable entry price.

RÜFÜS DU SOL's Australian homecoming has just gotten bigger with a special DJ set at Melbourne's Wool Store.

The recording of the first new Death Grips album since 2018's 'Year Of The Snitch' is underway.
