PHIL JAMIESON ANNOUNCES NEW SOLO ALBUM ’10CHARLIE’ SET FOR AUG 14 RELEASE, NEW SINGLE ‘WEEKENDS’ AND MASSIVE 44 DATE AUSTRALIAN TOUR
Australian singer-songwriter Phil Jamieson has today announced a huge new chapter in his solo career, unveiling his brand-new single Weekends(out now), alongside news of his forthcoming sophomore album 10Charlie (presave here), set for release August 14.
To celebrate the album, Jamieson will embark on an enormous tour of Australia, PJ AIR, hitting venues across Queensland, New South Wales, Victoria, South Australia, Tasmania, Western Australia and the Northern Territory. With more than 40 shows nationwide, PJ AIR is one of Jamieson’s most ambitious solo tours yet. Tickets go on sale at 9am local time on Monday 13 April from www.philjamieson.com.au/.
New single Weekends offers the first taste of 10Charlie, a record that sees Jamieson diving deeper into his storytelling instincts, blending reflective lyricism, ambient guitar textures and that unmistakable voice that has defined Australian alternative music for decades.
“Weekends. It’s a destination. It’s a place among the tall pines. It’s a restaurant / bar / coffee shop / diner. You can go to Weekends on a Monday. It’s a place to agree or disagree,” explains Jamieson. “The song is built around intimacy and hope. And it has some fun guitars.”
10Charlie represents Jamieson at his most personal and direct, capturing moments of introspection and transcendence. Reuniting with producer Oscar Dawson and featuring collaborations with artists including Davey Lane, Rob Muinos, Ben Edgar and Soph Ozard, the album is at times both meditative and furious; as Jamieson presents stories of reflection fueled by moments of introspection and an overall commitment to pouring into one’s own elevation and fulfilment. 10Charlie weaves its way through melody and nuance with ease, matching Jamieson’s signature charisma and frenetic energy as a rock vocalist and musician. “This album is much more personal than my first record. In times of intense turbulence, I’ve written what I’ve needed to hear,” Jamieson says. “It’s a balm for my soul. 10Charlie is a boarding pass. You are not in the exit row, your luggage can be stored under the seat in front of you. Please follow all cabin crew directions and fasten your seat belt for take off.”
The PJ AIR tour will see Jamieson taking the new songs, alongside fan favourites from across his catalogue, to communities and venues throughout Australia. From breweries and theatres to beloved local pubs, the tour celebrates the grassroots venues and music scenes that have always been at the heart of Australian live music. Excited to perform his new album for fans in every pocket of Australia, Jamieson enthuses,“PJ AIR is a BIG adventure. My co-pilot is Ricky Albeck and I can’t wait to play for you all. Songs will be sung and stories will be told.”
Weekends is out now.
10CHARLIE will be released on Friday 14 August, and is available to presave here.
Tickets to the PJ AIR tour go on sale at 9am local time on Monday 13 April from www.philjamieson.com.au/.

JEBEDIAH ANNOUNCE THIRTY ODYEARS TOUR CELEBRATING 30 YEARS AS A BAND, WITH FIRST EVER VINYL REISSUES AND NATIONAL TOUR FOR OCTOBER + NOVEMBER
How does one fittingly celebrate three decades, zero lineup changes, six studio albums and a legacy for authenticity and colossal acclaim? For beloved Australian rockers Jebediah, their 30th anniversary celebrations in 2025 are set to be as epic as the past 30 years, today announcing a special run of headline shows this October and November, as well as the reissue of some of their most iconic albums on vinyl.
Set to celebrate a sensational snapshot of their three decades as a band, Jebediah’s THIRTY ODYEARS Tour will commence on Thursday 16 October in Adelaide, before heading to Hobart, Melbourne, Brisbane, Sydney and Canberra, and closing out with two special hometown shows in Perth on Friday 31 October and Saturday 21 November.
Tickets for the THIRTY ODYEARS Tour are on sale now.
“It feels surprisingly not that old, despite the fact we are all well into our middle ages now,” shares leader singer Kevin Mitchell. “Being in this band is like stepping in and out of a time capsule. It doesn’t matter how many years go by, every time we are on stage, or in the studio, or rehearsal room or just hanging out together, it’s somehow 1995 again, you know? Obviously, our lives have changed immensely but when you are around lifelong friends I think there is a part of you that stays the age of your youth. You still relate to each other the same way you did as teenagers. I’m sure anyone who catches up with old school friends would have experienced this a bit. So that’s how it feels. It’s not always easy but it’s also a gift.”
A fitting addition to their milestone year in 2025, Jebediah fans will also be able to get their hands on a range of the group’s classic back catalogue on translucent vinyl, with some special reissues ‘The Murmur Years’ via Sony Music, and also some albums primed for their first ever vinyl pressing – Jebediah history in the making!
“The new vinyl releases will have awesome new artwork and some of them will be getting their very first vinyl release ever, so that’s exciting,” reveals Mitchell. “I’m also really excited about the digital re-releases as we have found lots of old demo recordings that no one has ever heard before and B-sides that have never been digitally released so they are going to be really cool collections of material that hopefully long-time fans will enjoy. That is one of the redeeming features of digital music and streaming and stuff, is that it is very easy to put that kind of stuff out
for people to hear. It’s really for us and the hard-core fans to enjoy, a place for all this archival stuff to sit publicly.”
Emerging back in 1995 decked out with shorts, sneakers and blue hair, Jebediah exploded into view with singles like Jerks of Attention, Leaving Home, Teflon, Harpoon and Animal, soundtracking countless summers, car stereos and festivals with their trademark infectious pop hooks and rowdy riffs that have only gotten bigger and better over the years. With multiple ARIA Award nominations, several Western Australian Music Industry Award wins under their belts, including being inducted into the Hall of Fame in 2023, millions of streams, two Platinum-certified albums, as well as tours in their wake with everyone from The Smashing Pumpkins through to Powderfinger, You Am I, Jimmy Eat World and countless others, it’s an understatement to declare Jebediah as national Australian music heroes. But for the band, their ongoing longevity ultimately boils down to a key fact that transcends fame and fortune. “For us I believe it’s mostly got to do with the fact that we were already friends before the band started and did it as a fun way to hang out, maybe play some shows supporting our favourite bands, but that’s pretty much it,” says Mitchell. “So at the core of it, the glue that holds it together is the relationships. It’s really not held together by success or great ambition otherwise we would have broken up in 2005. So the secret for us I think has been wanting to keep the band together for reasons that are more than just about the music, or career stuff.”
And that very secret sauce Jebediah attributes to their longevity also carries over into their advice for any bands just beginning their own band journey: “It helps if you have a strong bond with the people in your band and can easily remember the reasons why you started playing in the first place, which should be to have fun. Commercial success, if you’re lucky to experience any at all, is fleeting, just like your time on this planet. Try and have some fun.”
With eight headline shows locked and loaded this October and November, Jebediah fans can expect plenty of favourites to be making appearances as part of the 30 Odyears Tour. But longtime fans will also be pleasantly surprised with what’s in store later this year, with the 30th anniversary run guaranteed to pay homage to the present and incredible past of Jebediah. “We’ve been playing a lot of festival sets where we wheel out all the hits, so to speak,” shares Mitchell, “so it’s time for us to curate a set of songs that aren’t just a parade of singles. So hopefully the set will be different to anything we’ve done before and be more of a deeper cross section of our history that represents a bit of everything.”
And if that’s not enough to celebrate 30 wonderful years of Jebediah, the band have a final parting scoop: “there might be a Jebediah documentary released soon.” Watch this space, and don’t miss your chance to celebrate one of Australia’s most beloved live acts hit stages around the country and toast to 30 years – and beyond!

JUSTICE ANNOUNCE AUS TOUR SPECIAL GUESTS TAME IMPALA (DJ SET) & BUSY P
French Grammy winners JUSTICE have announced the special guests for their upcoming Australian tour, with Tame Impala (DJ set) and Busy P joining the ride for the electronic duo’s December dates.
Bringing their full-scale live production to Australia, JUSTICE will play three exclusive east coast shows in December. The Australian leg kicks off in Sydney at Qudos Bank Arena on Wednesday, 3 December, moves to Melbourne’s John Cain Arena on Friday, 5 December, and wraps up in Brisbane at the Entertainment Centre on Sunday, 7 December. Tickets are on sale now from Ticketek.
Tame Impala — the globally acclaimed psychedelic rock project helmed by Kevin Parker, who lent his distinctive vocals to JUSTICE’s GRAMMY-winning track Neverender and One Night/All Night — is a standout addition to the lineup. Renowned for his boundary-pushing sound and immersive live performances, these shows mark his highly anticipated return to Australian stages and first multi-date Australian DJ tour. His presence brings a unique dimension to the bill, seamlessly bridging French electro and Australian psych-pop.
Busy P, aka Pedro Winter, founder of Ed Banger Records (Justice’s label) and former Daft Punk manager, is a cornerstone of the French electronic scene, known for his electrifying DJ sets and energy that Justice fans are sure to lap up.
Gaspard and Xavier said: “We’re excited to close this 21-month tour in Australia. With a little help from our friends Tame Impala and Busy P.”
The tour announcement follows a landmark period for the Parisian duo. Justice returned at Coachella in April 2024 with the debut of their new live show, launching a major US tour that went on to win an honorary prize at the NRJ Awards. Meanwhile, Hyperdrama, the first Justice album in eight years, received a nomination in the 2025 GRAMMY Awards. The album featured singles including GRAMMY winning track Neverender and One Night/All Night, both starring one of Australia’s most popular and influential artists, Tame Impala. One Night/All Night landing as triple j’s most played song in February last year. In 2025, Justice also featured on The Weeknd’s smash single, Wake Me Up which is already nearing 60 million streams on Spotify.
Gaspard Augé and Xavier de Rosnay’s ongoing global tour behind last year’s ‘Hyperdrama’ album has been lauded as a “pulverising audio-visual spectacular that deserves to go down in history” (Rolling Stone UK).
With an impressive lineup that mixes visual spectacle, high-energy electro, and some dreamy psych vibes, this tour is unmissable for anyone who loves music that pushes creative boundaries.
