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.

PETE MURRAY SHARES ROUSING NEW SINGLE ‘HOME TO ME’ CURRENTLY TOURING NATIONALLY ON 56 DATE SOLO ACOUSTIC RUN
A warm and rousing new addition to the Pete Murray universe, today the beloved singer-songwriter shares a brand new single Home To Me. Embracing folk and country flavours into Pete’s trademark tranquility, Home To Me also arrives amidst Pete’s extensive 56-date national acoustic solo tour, supported by Rachael Fahim and Brett Wood across the country.
Sparkling with acoustic guitar and honeyed vocals alongside country twangs and soft, shuffling percussion, Home To Me is a sublime meeting point between Pete’s uplifting folk-rock roots and some fresher sonic terrain, as Pete explains, “I don’t know if he has influenced me, but I’ve been listening to a bit of Kenny Rogers over the last few years. He has some classic songs. The country artist I’ve been listening to is Chris Stapleton. Chris has a killer voice and guitar tone.”
Initially penned during time spent in Nashville, Home To Me sprang to life quickly ahead of Pete’s first-ever co-writing session in the ‘Country Music Capital of the World’. And while a strikingly intimate outing that blossomed alongside Phil Barton, producer Garrett Kato and some engineering from Luke Palmer, Home To Me is a universal love letter to finding ‘the one’, with the country flavours that Pete was seeking ultimately expanding via Kato’s contributions, as well as Benny Edger adding some lap steel to proceedings. “I was doing some co-writing for the first time in Nashville,” shares Pete of Home To Me’s origin story, “and I wanted to write some country music for someone else. I was really nervous that I would rock up to the session the next day and have nothing to offer so I started writing the song that night. I pretty much had half of the music and lyrics written before I turned up to the session. I was writing with Aussie songwriter Phil Barton and Phil is a killer writer so it didn’t take long for him to work his magic and before we knew it, the song was done. It wasn’t written about anyone, it was more about what love means to people when you get it right. As the lyrics say, ‘No matter where we are or where we’re going to be, when we’re apart you’re the missing piece – there’s one thing you should know and one thing you gotta believe, honey you’re always home to me’.”
Having sold over 1.2 million albums, and generating hundreds of millions of streams, releasing three ARIA chart-topping albums and scooping up 17 ARIA Award nominations over the years, Pete Murray is undoubtedly one of Australia’s most enduring and endearing success stories. From the release of this debut full-length album, 2001’s The Game, through to his breakout 2003 album Feeler and, most recently, 2017’s Comacho, Pete has maintained his status for blending laidback charisma and magnetic live performances for decades while cultivating airplay, sales, streams and a dedicated fanbase that most could only dream of. Armed with a potent sonic brew that spans acoustic, rock, folk and more, witnessed on his multiple hits like Better Days, Feeler, Opportunity and So Beautiful, Pete’s live show has also been repeatedly praised for his smooth delivery, expert craftsmanship, and his inescapable ability to make you feel right at home in any venue and setting.
With countless headline shows with his band at home and across the world under his belt, and previous performances alongside the likes of Missy Higgins, Icehouse, Rob Thomas, James Blunt and more, 2025 has also found Pete ticking off yet another career first: performing an entirely acoustic headline run around Australia, with a mammoth 56-date tour currently in motion that spans practically every pocket of the country.
“I’m loving it!” enthuses Pete of his current tour. “So many shows have sold out and others are close to selling out on this tour. It’s been a very different tour for me being my first solo tour in Australia. Lots of stories and lots of song-a-longs.”
And while playing the Melbourne Recital Centre in April has been a recent standout for Pete on this current tour (with Lilithia Reviews praising: “Murray is a natural performer, an incredible songwriter, and in a room as large as Melbourne’s Recital Centre, he makes it feel like it’s just the two of us, huddled around a campfire, exchanging life stories.”), Pete’s ultimate favourite thing about touring regionally and so extensively is the chance to dig even deeper on home soil. “Getting to see new places is my favourite thing,” Pete concludes. “Australia is such a massive country, even though I’m doing a massive 60 date tour I haven’t even scratched the surface of places to go in this country.”
Home To Me is out now.
Tickets for Pete Murray’s solo tour are onsale now from www.petemurray.com.
